Property Expected Type Description
Properties from StorageContainer
abstract Text  An abstract is a short description that summarizes an StorageContainer
accessibilityHazard Text  A characteristic of the described resource that is physiologically dangerous to some users. Related to WCAG 2.0 guideline 2.3 (WebSchemas wiki lists possible values).
analysisSample AnalysisSample Refers to the AnalysisSample that filled this storage container.
containableAmount QuantitativeValue Specifies the numeric value of the amount of sample the StorageContainer will hold
containableAmountUnits DefinedTerm Specifies the units of measure the containableAmount is expressed in
containerLot Text  The unique designation for the StorageContainer, if batched and applicable, where the StorageContainer was created by adding preservative to the unfilled Product.
containerProduct Product  Speciffies the manufacturer of the raw Product used to comprise the StorageContainer sans preservative
containerPrepDate DateTime  The date and time the StorageContainer was created by adding preservative, if applicable, to the unfilled Product
encoding MediaObject  A media object that encodes this StorageContainer. This property is a synonym for associatedMedia. Supersedes encodings.
encodingFormat Text  or
URL  		Media type typically expressed using a MIME format (see IANA site and MDN reference) e.g. application/zip for a SoftwareApplication binary, audio/mpeg for .mp3 etc.).

In cases where a AnalysisSample has several media type representations, encoding can be used to indicate each MediaObject alongside particular encodingFormat information.

Unregistered or niche encoding and file formats can be indicated instead via the most appropriate URL, e.g. defining Web page or a Wikipedia/Wikidata entry. Supersedes fileFormat.
expires DateTime  Date the StorageContainer, unfilled, expires and is no longer useful or available due to the expected methodology of analysis or expected degradation of the matierals from a usable state.
hasPart AnalysisSample Specifies a child StorageContainer instance
isPartOf AnalysisSample Specifies a parent StorageContainer instance from which the StorageContainer is part of
intendedMatrix DefinedTerm Specifies what matrix of AnalysisSample is intended to be added to a StorageContainer
keywords DefinedTerm  or
Text  or
URL  		Keywords or tags used to describe this StorageContainer. Multiple entries in a keywords list are typically delimited by commas.
preparer Person  Specifies the Person who prepared the StorageContainer by adding the preservative to the raw product
preparedDate DateTime  Specifies the date and time when the preservative was added to the StorageContainer
preparedLotNumber Text  Specifies the lot number of the StorageContainer, if prepared in a batch, when preservative is added to the raw StorageContainer product.
product Product  Specifies a Product made by a Person or Organization that was used to create StorageContainer readied to contain an AnalysisSample
productLotNumber Text  Specifies a StorageContainer batch's lot number or production sequence identifier as defined by the preparing Person or Organization
sdPublisher Organization  or
Person  		Indicates the party responsible for generating and publishing the current structured data markup, typically in cases where the structured data is derived automatically from existing published content but published on a different site. For example, student projects and open data initiatives often re-publish existing content with more explicitly structured metadata. The sdPublisher property helps make such practices more explicit.
preservativeAmount QuantitativeValue Specifies the numeric value of preservative material added to a StorageContainer instance
preservativeAmountUnits DefinedTerm Specifies the units of measure of the amount of preservative added to a StorageContainer instance
preservativeItemNumber Text Specifies the manufacturer's item number of the preservative used
preservativeLot Text Specifies the lot number preservative
preservativeManufacturer Organization  or
Person  		Specifies who produced the Product  or amount of preservative
preservativeName Text Specifies the working name of the preservative added to the StorageContainer
preservativeSKU Text Specifies the SKU of the preservative added to the StorageContainer
productItemNumber Text  Specifies the Item Number or unique identifer for the type of Product
productSKU Text  Specifies the SKU number of the Product used to comprise this StorageContainer instance
text Text  The textual content of this StorageContainer.
thumbnailUrl URL  A thumbnail image relevant to the StorageContainer
video Clip  or
VideoObject  		An video object that bears record of the presence or nature of the AnalyticalSample
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.
url URL  URL of the item.
