Structured Types#
In the context of the vocabulary of Schema.org, a structured type refers to the overall category of entity or thing being described. In programming, this would be similar to a class. The Court Data Standard is composed of a combination of existing types as well as some that have been created to accommodate data related to courts.
Each property listed in the section following this one is used by one or more types to describe its subject. Properties may be shared between different types (e.g., a courthouse, a person, and a court system may all have a “name”). The section below describes the types included in the Court Data Standard as well as the properties associated with them.
Properties and types can be textually distinguished by their casing: properties are recorded with camelCase while types are recorded with PascalCase.
