Re: SDTT required attributes - who decides ?

Hi,

The requirements for certain Types and Properties in the Structured Data 
Testing Tool of Google are defined by Google themselves based on the 
requirements of their applications and use-cases (e.g. rich snippets in 
search results, actions within emails).

You can learn more about Google Guidelines for certain Types here:
