# Brand This type is derived from , which means that any of this type's properties within schema.org may also be used. Note however the properties on this page must be used in preference if a relevant property is available. ## **Properties** ### **Required properties** | Property | Expected Type | Description | | -------- | --------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | @type | [`Text`](https://schema.org/Text) | Must always be present and set to `"@type": "Brand"` | | name | [`Text`](https://schema.org/Text) |

| ### **Optional properties** | Property | Expected Type | Description | | ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | @id | [`URL`](https://schema.org/URL) |

A unique URI-based identifier for the record.

@id properties are used as identifiers for compatibility with JSON-LD. The value of such a property must always be an absolute URI that provides a stable globally unique identifier for the resource, as described in RFC3986.

The primary purpose of the URI format in this context is to provide natural namespacing for the identifier. Hence, the URI itself may not resolve to a valid endpoint, but must use a domain name controlled by the resource owner (the organisation responsible for the OpenActive open data feed).


Example

"@id": ""

| | identifier |

Text
- or -
PropertyValue
- or -
Array of PropertyValue
- or -
Integer

|

A local non-URI identifier for the resource


Example

"identifier": "BR1234"

| ### **Beta Extension properties** These properties are defined in the [OpenActive Beta Extension](https://openactive.io/ns-beta). The OpenActive Beta Extension is defined as a convenience to help document properties that are in active testing and review by the community. Publishers should not assume that properties in the beta namespace will either be added to the core specification or be included in the namespace over the long term. | Property | Expected Type | Description | | ------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | beta:formattedDescription | [`Text`](https://schema.org/Text) |
