Glossary · S
sameAs
sameAs is a schema.org property that links an entity on a web page to its profiles on other sites, declaring that they describe the same organization or person.
Extended definition
In more detail.
An organization’s sameAs typically lists its LinkedIn page, Wikidata entry, business profile, Crunchbase record and official social accounts; a person’s lists their professional profiles. The property is one of the strongest ways to resolve entity ambiguity, because it tells the engine exactly which external records to merge with the site’s facts. The linked profiles must themselves be consistent, or sameAs merges contradictions.
In our work
Where it appears.
sameAs is set for the organization and for every published author. See author and credential profiles.
