Of a [Person](https://schema.org/Person), and less typically of an [Organization](https://schema.org/Organization), to indicate a known language. We do not distinguish skill levels or reading/writing/speaking/signing here. Use language codes from the [IETF BCP 47 standard](http://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp47).

Of a [Person](https://schema.org/Person), and less typically of an [Organization](https://schema.org/Organization), to indicate a topic that is known about - suggesting possible expertise but not implying it. We do not distinguish skill levels here, or relate this to educational content, events, objectives or [JobPosting](https://schema.org/JobPosting) descriptions.

For an [Organization](https://schema.org/Organization) (often but not necessarily a [NewsMediaOrganization](https://schema.org/NewsMediaOrganization)), a report on staffing diversity issues. In a news context this might be for example ASNE or RTDNA (US) reports, or self-reported.

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](https://schema.org/sdPublisher) property helps make such practices more explicit.

A license document that applies to this structured data, typically indicated by URL.

Indicates the date on which the current structured data was generated / published. Typically used alongside [sdPublisher](https://schema.org/sdPublisher).

Indicates a correction to a [CreativeWork](https://schema.org/CreativeWork), either via a [CorrectionComment](https://schema.org/CorrectionComment), textually or in another document.

For an [Article](https://schema.org/Article), typically a [NewsArticle](https://schema.org/NewsArticle), the backstory property provides a textual summary giving a brief explanation of why and how an article was created. In a journalistic setting this could include information about reporting process, methods, interviews, data sources, etc.

Defines the frequency at which [Event](https://schema.org/Event)s will occur according to a schedule [Schedule](https://schema.org/Schedule). The intervals between events should be defined as a [Duration](https://schema.org/Duration) of time.

Defines the number of times a recurring [Event](https://schema.org/Event) will take place.

Defines a [Date](https://schema.org/Date) or [DateTime](https://schema.org/DateTime) during which a scheduled [Event](https://schema.org/Event) will not take place. The property allows exceptions to a [Schedule](https://schema.org/Schedule) to be specified. If an exception is specified as a [DateTime](https://schema.org/DateTime) then only the event that would have started at that specific date and time should be excluded from the schedule. If an exception is specified as a [Date](https://schema.org/Date) then any event that is scheduled for that 24 hour period should be excluded from the schedule. This allows a whole day to be excluded from the schedule without having to itemise every scheduled event.

Associates an [Event](https://schema.org/Event) with a [Schedule](https://schema.org/Schedule). There are circumstances where it is preferable to share a schedule for a series of repeating events rather than data on the individual events themselves. For example, a website or application might prefer to publish a schedule for a weekly gym class rather than provide data on every event. A schedule could be processed by applications to add forthcoming events to a calendar. An [Event](https://schema.org/Event) that is associated with a [Schedule](https://schema.org/Schedule) using this property should not have [startDate](https://schema.org/startDate) or [endDate](https://schema.org/endDate) properties. These are instead defined within the associated [Schedule](https://schema.org/Schedule), this avoids any ambiguity for clients using the data. The property might have repeated values to specify different schedules, e.g. for different months or seasons.

Defines the day(s) of the month on which a recurring [Event](https://schema.org/Event) takes place. Specified as an [Integer](https://schema.org/Integer) between 1-31.

Defines the day(s) of the week on which a recurring [Event](https://schema.org/Event) takes place. May be specified using either [DayOfWeek](https://schema.org/DayOfWeek), or alternatively [Text](https://schema.org/Text) conforming to iCal's syntax for byDay recurrence rules.
