RE: itemscope issue

Itemscope identifies that this is an item. Itemtype specifies what kind of item, i.e., which schema to reference.

Please take a look at the documentation. This is one of the first things explained.

Subject: itemscope issue

Hi,

I was learning how to use schema.org to mark up my webpage. And I find something interesting that why we need "itemscope" since we have "itemtype". I mean, each "itemscope" label is followed by an "itemtype" label. Can I just ignore the "itemscope" label.

Thanks
