Properties from ChooseAction
`actionOption` | Text or Thing | A sub property of object. The options subject to this action. Supersedes option.
Properties from Action
`actionStatus` | ActionStatusType | Indicates the current disposition of the Action.
`agent` | Organization or Person | The direct performer or driver of the action (animate or inanimate). e.g. John wrote a book.

`endTime`

DateTime

The endTime of something. For a reserved event or service (e.g. FoodEstablishmentReservation), the time that it is expected to end. For actions that span a period of time, when the action was performed. e.g. John wrote a book from January to December.

Note that Event uses startDate/endDate instead of startTime/endTime, even when describing dates with times. This situation may be clarified in future revisions.

`error` | Thing | For failed actions, more information on the cause of the failure.
`instrument` | Thing | The object that helped the agent perform the action. e.g. John wrote a book with a pen.
`location` | Place or PostalAddress or Text | The location of for example where the event is happening, an organization is located, or where an action takes place.
`object` | Thing | The object upon the action is carried out, whose state is kept intact or changed. Also known as the semantic roles patient, affected or undergoer (which change their state) or theme (which doesn't). e.g. John read a book.
`participant` | Organization or Person | Other co-agents that participated in the action indirectly. e.g. John wrote a book with Steve.
`result` | Thing | The result produced in the action. e.g. John wrote a book.

`startTime`

DateTime

The startTime of something. For a reserved event or service (e.g. FoodEstablishmentReservation), the time that it is expected to start. For actions that span a period of time, when the action was performed. e.g. John wrote a book from January to December.

Note that Event uses startDate/endDate instead of startTime/endTime, even when describing dates with times. This situation may be clarified in future revisions.

`target` | EntryPoint | Indicates a target EntryPoint for an Action.
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.
`url` | URL | URL of the item.
