  \ [[measuredProperty]], [[measuredValue]] (or [[median]], etc.) and [[observationDate]]\
  \ ([[measuredProperty]] properties can, but need not always, be W3C RDF Data Cube\
  \ \\\"measure properties\\\", as in the [lifeExpectancy example](https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-data-cube/#dsd-example)).\n\

  additionalType:
    name: additionalType
    comments:
    - 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.

    comments:
    - 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.
