Properties from Thing
`additionalType` | URL | An additional type for the item, typically used for adding more specific types from external vocabularies in microdata syntax. This is a relationship between something and a class that the thing is in. In RDFa syntax, it is better to use the native RDFa syntax - the 'typeof' attribute - for multiple types. Schema.org tools may have only weaker understanding of extra types, in particular those defined externally.
`alternateName` | Text | An alias for the item.
`description` | Text | A description of the item.
`disambiguatingDescription` | Text | A sub property of description. A short description of the item used to disambiguate from other, similar items. Information from other properties (in particular, name) may be necessary for the description to be useful for disambiguation.
`image` | ImageObject or URL | An image of the item. This can be a URL or a fully described ImageObject.
`mainEntityOfPage` | CreativeWork or URL | Indicates a page (or other CreativeWork) for which this thing is the main entity being described. See background notes for details. Inverse property: mainEntity.
`name` | Text | The name of the item.
`potentialAction` | Action | Indicates a potential Action, which describes an idealized action in which this thing would play an 'object' role.
`sameAs` | URL | URL of a reference Web page that unambiguously indicates the item's identity. E.g. the URL of the item's Wikipedia page, Freebase page, or official website.
