MediaObject

http://schema.org/MediaObject

A media object, such as an image, video, audio, or text object embedded in a web page or a downloadable dataset i.e. DataDownload. Note that a creative work may have many media objects associated with it on the same web page. For example, a page about a single song (MusicRecording) may have a music video (VideoObject), and a high and low bandwidth audio stream (2 AudioObject's).

Properties from MediaObject

Property	Expected Type	Description
contentUrl	URL	Actual bytes of the media object, for example the image file or video file.

Properties from CreativeWork

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]].
contentLocation	Place	The location depicted or described in the content. For example, the location in a photograph or painting.
material	Product, Text, URL	A material that something is made from, e.g. leather, wool, cotton, paper.
temporal	DateTime, Text	The "temporal" property can be used in cases where more specific properties(e.g. [[temporalCoverage]], [[dateCreated]], [[dateModified]], [[datePublished]]) are not known to be appropriate.
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.
isPartOf	CreativeWork, URL	Indicates an item or CreativeWork that this item, or CreativeWork (in some sense), is part of.
thumbnail	ImageObject	Thumbnail image for an image or video.
publisher	Person, Organization	The publisher of the creative work.

Properties from Thing

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.
image	ImageObject, URL	An image of the item. This can be a [[URL]] or a fully described [[ImageObject]].
name	Text	The name of the item.
identifier	PropertyValue, Text, URL	The identifier property represents any kind of identifier for any kind of [[Thing]], such as ISBNs, GTIN codes, UUIDs etc. Schema.org provides dedicated properties for representing many of these, either as textual strings or as URL (URI) links. See background notes for more details.
description	Text, TextObject	A description of the item.
url	URL	URL of the item.
alternateName	Text	An alias for the item.
