Re: What are those enumerations after the breadcrumb's :: called?

I would note that the range of schema:contactType is schema:Text, and thus
not a schema:Enumeration.

Note that the supported values are English language phrases, with
spaces,etc.

Enumeration values, by contrast, are URIs, see e.g:

https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/6069143?hl=en

"For example, it is recommended that if you’re using enumerations and
canonical references to use the link tag with href, and to use the meta tag
with content for missing or implicit information."

Further to my remark yesterday wondering about where information about
Google required properties can be found, it seems that this information is
not available in machine readable form directly, but is given in a number
of different tabular formats on various type specific pages.

Some of the restrictions are country and category specific.
It may be possible to convert this information to machine readable form
using screen scraping, though I have not looked to see if there is RDFa or
microdata embedded in the tables.

I have not looked for corresponding restrictions for other partners.
