Property Expected Type description additionalType URLAn 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 TextAn alias for the item.description TextA description of the item.disambiguatingDescription TextA sub property of description.
