Thing

This is an implementation of schema.org Thing.

In Stencila Schema it provides the common base for schema.org-derived entities such as people, organizations, creative works, products, and related metadata-bearing types. Stencila keeps the broadly interoperable schema.org core while integrating it with the node and document infrastructure inherited through Entity.

Key properties include name, alternateNames, description, identifiers, images, and url.
