# AlignmentObject Schema Generator and Guide

## AlignmentObject

_Schema.org Type_

An intangible item that describes an alignment between a learning resource and a node in an educational framework.

Should not be used where the nature of the alignment can be described using a simple property, for example to express that a resource [teaches](/content/schema_list/teaches/index.html) or [assesses](/content/schema_list/assesses/index.html) a competency.

**AlignmentObject** schema is a sub type of:

- [Intangible Schema](/content/schema_list/Intangible "Intangible JSON-LD Generator"/index.html)

This schema has no sub types

This Schema can take the following complex properties:

1. identifier: \| PropertyValue  \|
2. image: \| ImageObject  \|
3. mainEntityOfPage: \| CreativeWork  \|
4. potentialAction: \| Action  \|
5. subjectOf: \| CreativeWork  \| Event  \|

## How to Create a **AlignmentObject** Schema

#### **Step 1:** Fill out the form above as much as possible.

**Note:** Use this [Schema.org](https://schema.org/) based structured data generator tool to easily create AlignmentObject schema.

The properties are the description of your entity. You don't have to fill in all the properties on this page. Provide what is available and leave what is not. To learn more about each property in your schema type please check [AlignmentObject schema properties](/content/schema_list/AlignmentObject#properties/index.html)

#### **Step 2:** When complete click the Copy Code button to get your JSON-LD code

**Notes:** To check if your code is eligible for featured snippets (rich snippets or rich results) test your code with the [Rich Results Test tool](https://search.google.com/test/rich-results) to learn more about which schema are qualified for rich results check out [Google’s search gallery](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/search-gallery).

To validate your markup code, check your JSON-LD code with the [Schema Markup Validator](https://validator.schema.org/)

#### **Step 3:** To add a sub-schema, click on the Create Knowledge Graph button

**Important Notes:** to describe the relationship between your entities you must design a custom schema, this is where the 'creation of knowledge graph' is needed.
