A BreadcrumbList is an ItemList consisting of a chain of linked Web pages, typically described using at least their URL and their name, and typically ending with the current page.The (/position) position property is used to reconstruct the order of the items in a BreadcrumbList. The convention is that a breadcrumb list has an (/itemListOrder) itemListOrder of (/ItemListOrderAscending) ItemListOrderAscending (lower values listed first), and that the first items in this list correspond to the "top" or beginning of the breadcrumb trail, e.g. with a site or section homepage. The specific values of 'position' are not assigned meaning for a BreadcrumbList, but they should be integers, e.g. beginning with '1' for the first item in the list.  Property Expected Type Description   Properties from (/ItemList) (ItemList) ItemList   (/itemListElement) (itemListElement) itemListElement   (/ListItem) (ListItem) ListItem or (/Text) (Text) Text or (/Thing) (Thing) Thing  For itemListElement values, you can use simple strings (e.g. "Peter", "Paul", "Mary"), existing entities, or use ListItem.Text values are best if the elements in the list are plain strings. Existing entities are best for a simple, unordered list of existing things in your data. ListItem is used with ordered lists when you want to provide additional context about the element in that list or when the same item might be in different places in different lists.Note: The order of elements in your mark-up is not sufficient for indicating the order or elements.  Use ListItem with a 'position' property in such cases.   (/itemListOrder) (itemListOrder) itemListOrder   (/ItemListOrderType) (ItemListOrderType) ItemListOrderType or (/Text) (Text) Text  Type of ordering (e.g. Ascending, Descending, Unordered).   (/numberOfItems) (numberOfItems) numberOfItems   (/Integer) (Integer) Integer  The number of items in an ItemList. Note that some descriptions might not fully describe all items in a list (e.g., multi-page pagination); in such cases, the numberOfItems would be for the entire list.   Properties from (/Thing) (Thing) Thing   (/additionalType) (additionalType) additionalType   (/Text) (Text) Text or (/URL) (URL) 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. Typically the value is a URI-identified RDF class, and in this case corresponds to the
    use of rdf:type in RDF. Text values can be used sparingly, for cases where useful information can be added without their being an appropriate schema to reference. In the case of text values, the class label should follow the schema.org (https://schema.org/docs/styleguide.html) style guide .   (/alternateName) (alternateName) alternateName   (/Text) (Text) Text  An alias for the item.   (/description) (description) description   (/Text) (Text) Text or (/TextObject) (TextObject) TextObject  A description of the item.   (/disambiguatingDescription) (disambiguatingDescription) disambiguatingDescription   (/Text) (Text) 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) (identifier) identifier   (/PropertyValue) (PropertyValue) PropertyValue or (/Text) (Text) Text or (/URL) (URL) URL  The identifier property represents any kind of identifier for any kind of (/Thing) 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 (/docs/datamodel.html#identifierBg) background notes for more details.   (/image) (image) image   (/ImageObject) (ImageObject) ImageObject or (/URL) (URL) URL  An image of the item. This can be a (/URL) URL or a fully described (/ImageObject) ImageObject .   (/mainEntityOfPage) (mainEntityOfPage) mainEntityOfPage   (/CreativeWork) (CreativeWork) CreativeWork or (/URL) (URL) URL  Indicates a page (or other CreativeWork) for which this thing is the main entity being described. See (/docs/datamodel.html#mainEntityBackground) background notes for details. Inverse property: (/mainEntity) (mainEntity) mainEntity   (/name) (name) name   (/Text) (Text) Text  The name of the item.   (/potentialAction) (potentialAction) potentialAction   (/Action) (Action) Action  Indicates a potential Action, which describes an idealized action in which this thing would play an 'object' role.   (/sameAs) (sameAs) sameAs   (/URL) (URL) 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) (subjectOf) subjectOf   (/CreativeWork) (CreativeWork) CreativeWork or (/Event) (Event) Event  A CreativeWork or Event about this Thing. Inverse property: (/about) (about) about   (/url) (url) url   (/URL) (URL) URL  URL of the item.     Instances of (/BreadcrumbList) (BreadcrumbList) BreadcrumbList may appear as a value for the following properties Property On Types Description   (/breadcrumb) (breadcrumb) breadcrumb  (/WebPage) (WebPage) WebPage  A set of links that can help a user understand and navigate a website hierarchy.
