Schema.org Schemas

What it is This Schema.org page is the development-version view of the full schema hierarchy. It presents two hierarchies: one for the things being described and another for textual property-value data types.

Key concepts The main hierarchy organizes types/classes under Thing, while the parallel DataType hierarchy includes values such as Boolean, Date, DateTime, Number, Text, URL, and Time. Types can have more than one super-type.

How you’d use it Open or close the hierarchy to browse Schema.org’s available types and see a type in parent-child context, then consult the parallel data-type tree when choosing a value category.

LLM angle none stated

Pitfalls & lessons The page is explicitly a development version. Although a type may have multiple super-types, the visualization shows it in only one branch, so the displayed tree is not a complete view of multiple inheritance.

Verdict A useful broad map of Schema.org’s type space, but not a complete visualization of every super-type relationship.
