Property	Expected Type	Description

Properties from ConsumeAction
`expectsAcceptanceOf`	Offer	An Offer which must be accepted before the user can perform the Action. For example, the user may need to buy a movie before being able to watch it.
Properties from Action
`actionStatus`	ActionStatusType	Indicates the current disposition of the Action.
`agent`	Organization or Person	The direct performer or driver of the action (animate or inanimate). e.g. John wrote a book.
`endTime`	DateTime	The endTime of something. For a reserved event or service (e.g. FoodEstablishmentReservation), the time that it is expected to end. For actions that span a period of time, when the action was performed. e.g. John wrote a book from January to December. Note that Event uses startDate/endDate instead of startTime/endTime, even when describing dates with times. This situation may be clarified in future revisions.
`error`	Thing	For failed actions, more information on the cause of the failure.
`instrument`	Thing	The object that helped the agent perform the action. e.g. John wrote a book with a pen.
`location`	Place or PostalAddress or Text	The location of for example where the event is happening, an organization is located, or where an action takes place.
`object`	Thing	The object upon which the action is carried out, whose state is kept intact or changed. Also known as the semantic roles patient, affected or undergoer (which change their state) or theme (which doesn't). e.g. John read a book.
`participant`	Organization or Person	Other co-agents that participated in the action indirectly. e.g. John wrote a book with Steve.
`result`	Thing	The result produced in the action. e.g. John wrote a book.
`startTime`	DateTime	The startTime of something. For a reserved event or service (e.g. FoodEstablishmentReservation), the time that it is expected to start. For actions that span a period of time, when the action was performed. e.g. John wrote a book from January to December. Note that Event uses startDate/endDate instead of startTime/endTime, even when describing dates with times. This situation may be clarified in future revisions.
`target`	EntryPoint	Indicates a target EntryPoint for an Action.
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.
`potentialAction`	Action	Indicates a potential Action, which describes an idealized action in which this thing would play an 'object' role.
`sameAs`	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.
`url`	URL	URL of the item.
