Property	Expected Type	Description
Properties from CategoryCode
`codeValue`	Text	A short textual code that uniquely identifies the value.
`inCodeSet`	CategoryCodeSet or URL	A CategoryCodeSet that contains this category code.
Properties from DefinedTerm
`inDefinedTermSet`	DefinedTermSet or URL	A DefinedTermSet that contains this term.
`termCode`	Text	A code that identifies this DefinedTerm within a DefinedTermSet
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.
`identifier`	PropertyValue or Text or 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.
`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, Wikidata entry, or official website.
`subjectOf`	CreativeWork or Event	A CreativeWork or Event about this Thing. Inverse property: about.
`url`	URL	URL of the item.

Instances of CategoryCode may appear as values for the following properties

Property	On Types	Description
`hasCategoryCode`	CategoryCodeSet	A Category code contained in this code set.
`legislationType`	Legislation	The type of the legislation. Examples of values are "law", "act", "directive", "decree", "regulation", "statutory instrument", "loi organique", "règlement grand-ducal", etc., depending on the country.
`occupationalCategory`	EducationalOccupationalProgram or JobPosting or Occupation or WorkBasedProgram	A category describing the job, preferably using a term from a taxonomy such as BLS ONET-SOC, ISCO-08 or similar, with the property repeated for each applicable value. Ideally the taxonomy should be identified, and both the textual label and formal code for the category should be provided. Note: for historical reasons, any textual label and formal code provided as a literal may be assumed to be from ONET-SOC.
