http://schema.org/CreativeWork
The most generic kind of creative work, including books, movies, photographs, software programs, etc.
| Property | Expected Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| abstract | Text | An abstract is a short description that summarizes a [[CreativeWork]]. |
| position | Integer, Text | The position of an item in a series or sequence of items. |
| license | CreativeWork, URL | A license document that applies to this content, typically indicated by URL. |
| creator | Person, Organization | The creator/author of this CreativeWork. This is the same as the Author property for CreativeWork. |
| dateCreated | Date, DateTime | The date on which the CreativeWork was created or the item was added to a DataFeed. |
| maintainer | Person, Organization | A maintainer of a [[Dataset]], software package ([[SoftwareApplication]]), or other [[Project]]. A maintainer is a [[Person]] or [[Organization]] that manages contributions to, and/or publication of, some (typically complex) artifact. It is common for distributions of software and data to be based on "upstream" sources. When [[maintainer]] is applied to a specific version of something e.g. a particular version or packaging of a [[Dataset]], it is always possible that the upstream source has a different maintainer. The [[isBasedOn]] property can be used to indicate such relationships between datasets to make the different maintenance roles clear. Similarly in the case of software, a package may have dedicated maintainers working on integration into software distributions such as Ubuntu, as well as upstream maintainers of the underlying work. |
| inLanguage | Language, Text | The language of the content or performance or used in an action. Please use one of the language codes from the IETF BCP 47 standard. See also [[availableLanguage]]. |

| citation | CreativeWork, Text | A citation or reference to another creative work, such as another publication, web page, scholarly article, etc. |
| about | Thing | The subject matter of the content. |
| keywords | DefinedTerm, Text, URL | Keywords or tags used to describe some item. Multiple textual entries in a keywords list are typically delimited by commas, or by repeating the property. |
| contributor | Person, Organization | A secondary contributor to the CreativeWork or Event. |

| Property | Expected Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| additionalType | Text, 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. Typically the value is a URI-identified RDF class, and in this case corresponds to the use of rdf:type in RDF. Text values can be used sparingly, for cases where useful information can be added without their being an appropriate schema to reference. In the case of text values, the class label should follow the schema.org style guide |
| 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, Wikidata entry, or official website. |
