The act of notifying someone of information pertinent to them, with no

PropertyExpected TypeDescription Properties from InformAction event Event
Upcoming or past event associated with this place, organization, or action.
Supersedes events. Properties from CommunicateAction about Thing The subject
matter of the content.
Inverse property: subjectOf inLanguage Language  or
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. Supersedes language. recipient Audience  or
ContactPoint  or
Organization  or
Person A sub property of participant. The participant who is at the receiving
end of the action. Properties from Action actionStatus ActionStatusType
Indicates the current disposition of the Action. agent Organization  or
Person The direct performer or driver of the action (animate or inanimate). e.g.
John wrote a book. endTime DateTime  or
Time The endTime of something. For a reserved event or service (e.g.
FoodEstablishmentReservation), the time that it is expected to end. For actions
that span a period of time, when the action was performed. e.g. John wrote a
book from January to December. For media, including audio and video, it's the
time offset of the end of a clip within a larger file.

Note that Event uses startDate/endDate instead of startTime/endTime, even when
describing dates with times. This situation may be clarified in future
revisions. error Thing For failed actions, more information on the cause of the
failure. instrument Thing The object that helped the agent perform the action.
e.g. John wrote a book with a pen. location Place  or
PostalAddress  or
Text  or
VirtualLocation The location of, for example, where an event is happening, where
an organization is located, or where an action takes place. object Thing The
object upon which the action is carried out, whose state is kept intact or
changed. Also known as the semantic roles patient, affected or undergoer (which
change their state) or theme (which doesn't). e.g. John read a book. participant
Organization  or
Person Other co-agents that participated in the action indirectly. e.g. John
wrote a book with Steve. result Thing The result produced in the action. e.g.
John wrote a book. startTime DateTime  or
Time The startTime of something. For a reserved event or service (e.g.
FoodEstablishmentReservation), the time that it is expected to start. For
actions that span a period of time, when the action was performed. e.g. John
wrote a book from January to December. For media, including audio and video,
it's the time offset of the start of a clip within a larger file.

Note that Event uses startDate/endDate instead of startTime/endTime, even when
describing dates with times. This situation may be clarified in future
revisions. target EntryPoint Indicates a target EntryPoint for an Action.
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.
