One of the best ways to do this is to ensure you\u2019re connecting your data items in the most specific and descriptive way possible. The Schema Paths tool is a quick and easy way to see which schema.org properties can be leveraged to connect your data items. \nYou can access the Schema Paths Tool by logging into your Schema App account and selecting Tools > Schema Paths or clicking this link.\nThe tool will require you to select two classes\u2014or data item types\u2014to connect. You can select them from the drop-down list, or type in the name of the class you\u2019re looking for. Then click on \u201cClick to find a path\u201d. Essentially, you\u2019re asking the tool: how can these things be connected? The tool will present you with a list of all possible properties to relate these data item types.\n\ud83d\udca1 TIP! If you\u2019re unsure how the properties are defined, clicking them will open their entry in schema.org.\n<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12288\" src=\"https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Tool.png?strip=all&lossy=1&resize=781%2C837&ssl=1\" alt=\"Schema Paths Tool\" width=\"781\" height=\"837\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Tool.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 781w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Tool-280x300.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 280w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Tool-600x643.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Tool-768x823.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Tool-560x600.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Tool-80x86.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Tool-187x200.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 187w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Tool-216x232.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 216w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Tool-200x214.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Tool-56x60.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 56w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Tool-93x100.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 93w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Tool-140x150.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 140w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Tool-400x429.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Tool-220x236.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 220w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Tool-100x107.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Tool-450x482.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 450w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Tool-150x161.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Tool-28x30.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 28w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Tool.png?strip=all&lossy=1&w=684&ssl=1 684w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 781px) 100vw, 781px\" \/>\nYou\u2019ll notice the Schema Paths tool presents available properties in two sections: \n\nPossible Paths, which connect the first selected class to the second\nReversal Paths, connecting the second class to the first. \n\nThis is because the first class is considered the primary class. It will be at the top of the hierarchy, and the second class will be embedded within it. \nCertain selected classes will only return paths in one direction. This is because the rules governing these data item types only allow for a unilateral relationship. For example, the Schema Paths tool will only show Reversal Paths connecting a Medical Condition to a Medical Cause. So, if you wanted your schema markup to state that a Medical Condition is caused by a particular Medical Cause, the statement would have to be: MedicalCause \u2192 causeOf \u2192  MedicalCondition. The Medical Cause would need to be the primary entity, and the Medical Condition would be embedded within it by way of the cause of property.\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12475\" src=\"https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Medical-Condition-to-Medical-Cause.png?strip=all&lossy=1&resize=742%2C488&ssl=1\" alt=\"Schema Paths Medical Condition to Medical Cause\" width=\"742\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Medical-Condition-to-Medical-Cause.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 742w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Medical-Condition-to-Medical-Cause-300x197.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Medical-Condition-to-Medical-Cause-600x395.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Medical-Condition-to-Medical-Cause-80x53.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Medical-Condition-to-Medical-Cause-200x132.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Medical-Condition-to-Medical-Cause-353x232.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 353w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Medical-Condition-to-Medical-Cause-91x60.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 91w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Medical-Condition-to-Medical-Cause-152x100.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 152w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Medical-Condition-to-Medical-Cause-140x92.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 140w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Medical-Condition-to-Medical-Cause-400x263.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Medical-Condition-to-Medical-Cause-220x145.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 220w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Medical-Condition-to-Medical-Cause-100x66.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Medical-Condition-to-Medical-Cause-450x296.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 450w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Medical-Condition-to-Medical-Cause-150x99.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Medical-Condition-to-Medical-Cause-30x20.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 30w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schema-Paths-Medical-Condition-to-Medical-Cause.png?strip=all&lossy=1&w=684&ssl=1 684w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 742px) 100vw, 742px\" \/>\nGetting to know all the types and properties in schema.org\u2019s vocabulary is a bit like learning grammar for a new language\u2014but getting it right doesn\u2019t have to be hard!
