`predecessorOf`	ProductModel	A pointer from a previous, often discontinued variant of the product to its newer variant.
`successorOf`	ProductModel	A pointer from a newer variant of a product to its previous, often discontinued predecessor.
Properties from Product
`additionalProperty`	PropertyValue	A property-value pair representing an additional characteristics of the entitity, e.g. a product feature or another characteristic for which there is no matching property in schema.org. Note: Publishers should be aware that applications designed to use specific schema.org properties (e.g. http://schema.org/width, http://schema.org/color, http://schema.org/gtin13, ...) will typically expect such data to be provided using those properties, rather than using the generic property/value mechanism.
`aggregateRating`	AggregateRating	The overall rating, based on a collection of reviews or ratings, of the item.
`audience`	Audience	An intended audience, i.e. a group for whom something was created. Supersedes serviceAudience.

`gtin13`	Text	The GTIN-13 code of the product, or the product to which the offer refers. This is equivalent to 13-digit ISBN codes and EAN UCC-13. Former 12-digit UPC codes can be converted into a GTIN-13 code by simply adding a preceeding zero. See GS1 GTIN Summary for more details.
`gtin14`	Text	The GTIN-14 code of the product, or the product to which the offer refers. See GS1 GTIN Summary for more details.
`gtin8`	Text	The GTIN-8 code of the product, or the product to which the offer refers. This code is also known as EAN/UCC-8 or 8-digit EAN. See GS1 GTIN Summary for more details.
`height`	Distance or QuantitativeValue	The height of the item.
`isAccessoryOrSparePartFor`	Product	A pointer to another product (or multiple products) for which this product is an accessory or spare part.

`mpn`	Text	The Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) of the product, or the product to which the offer refers.
`offers`	Offer	An offer to provide this item—for example, an offer to sell a product, rent the DVD of a movie, perform a service, or give away tickets to an event.
`productID`	Text	The product identifier, such as ISBN. For example: `meta itemprop="productID" content="isbn:123-456-789"`.

Properties from Thing
`additionalType`	URL	An additional type for the item, typically used for adding more specific types from external vocabularies in microdata syntax. This is a relationship between something and a class that the thing is in. In RDFa syntax, it is better to use the native RDFa syntax - the 'typeof' attribute - for multiple types. Schema.org tools may have only weaker understanding of extra types, in particular those defined externally.
`alternateName`	Text	An alias for the item.
`description`	Text	A description of the item.
`disambiguatingDescription`	Text	A sub property of description. A short description of the item used to disambiguate from other, similar items. Information from other properties (in particular, name) may be necessary for the description to be useful for disambiguation.
`identifier`	PropertyValue or Text or URL	The identifier property represents any kind of identifier for any kind of Thing, such as ISBNs, GTIN codes, UUIDs etc. Schema.org provides dedicated properties for representing many of these, either as textual strings or as URL (URI) links. See background notes for more details.
`image`	ImageObject or URL	An image of the item. This can be a URL or a fully described ImageObject.
`mainEntityOfPage`	CreativeWork or URL	Indicates a page (or other CreativeWork) for which this thing is the main entity being described. See background notes for details. Inverse property: mainEntity.

A ProductModel gives a datasheet or vendor specification of a
product (in the sense of a prototypical description).  Use this type
when you are describing a product datasheet rather than an actual
product, e.g. if you are the manufacturer of the product and want to
mark up your product specification pages. For example: The ACME
Colorvision 123 specifiation on the ACME Corp. site for that model.
<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ProductModel" itemid="#model">
 <link itemprop="additionalType"
       href="http://www.productontology.org/id/Television_set" />
 <span itemprop="name">ACME Colorvision 123</span>
 <span itemprop="description">The ACME Colorvision 123 is
  the leading-edge color TV from our company.</span>
 EAN/UPC: <span itemprop="gtin13">1234567890123</span>
</div>
Recommendation: Try to provide identifiers (gtin13, gtin14, gtin8, mpn
properties) and link to you as the manufacturer (manufacturer
property) so that search engines can use your data to enrich offers of
your products found elsewhere.
