Identify the relationship between entity types

AI-generated Key Takeaways

This documentation explains how to define relationships between content entities for TV shows, radio, music, and live TV within media feeds for Google.
Establishing these relationships is crucial for accurate content display and handling ambiguous user queries.
For TV shows, relationships are defined between TVEpisode, TVSeason, and TVSeries entities using specific properties like partOfSeries and partOfSeason.
Radio content requires details like broadcastFrequency, callSign, and areaServed for the RadioBroadcastService entity.
Music content uses MusicGroup, MusicAlbum, MusicRecording, and MusicPlaylist entities with actions and relationships to facilitate music discovery.
Live TV involves a complex set of entities like Organization, BroadcastService, and TelevisionChannel to represent channel lineups and electronic programming guides (EPG).

Some entity types require you to establish the relationship between the content in your feed. This information helps Google display the proper order and structure of your content to users and identify the correct content when a user's query is ambiguous.

Select the type of content that you provide:

TV show

If you're a TV show provider, you need to add the TVEpisode, TVSeason, and TVSeries entity types in your media catalog feed. You can find the definitions for these entities in the Understand the available entity types section by filtering for these types.

Identify the relationships

Ensure the following relationships are established among them:

**Figure**: The `partOfSeries` and `partOfSeason` properties connect the TV show entity types together.

A TVEpisode entity requires you to provide the partOfSeries property, which specifies the @id and name of the episode's TVSeries entity.

"partOfSeries": {
  "@type": "TVSeries",
  "@id": "http://www.example.com/my_favorite_tv_show",
  "name": "My Favorite TV Show",
},

If your feed contains TV seasons, a TVSeason entity also requires you to specify its TVSeries entity in the partOfSeries property.

Note: Providing TVSeason as a top level entity is optional. However, if you choose to provide TVSeason entities for a TV show, those TVSeason entities must cover all the episodes of the TV series in your catalog. For instance, if My Favorite TV Show has 8 seasons and each season has 5 episodes. Your feed should contain all 40 episodes of My Favorite TV Show. If you provide TVSeason entities for the show, then your feed must include all 8 TVSeason entities.
A TVEpisode entity requires you to provide the partOfSeason property, which specifies the @id and seasonNumber of the episode's TVSeason entity.
```
"partOfSeason": {
  "@type": "TVSeason",
  "@id": "http://www.example.com/my_favorite_tv_show/s7",
  "seasonNumber": 7
},
```
If a TVEpisode entity doesn't have a corresponding TVSeason entity in the feed, take the following steps to provide the partOfSeason.@id and partOfSeason.seasonNumber properties for the TVEpisode entity:
- Take its partofSeries.@id and attach a placeholder query field (for example, ?season1) to create a unique partOfSeason.@id (for example, http://www.example.com/my_favorite_tv_show?season1).
- Set partOfSeason.seasonNumber to 1.
Later, if you decide to provide TV seasons in the feed, you can either reuse the existing partOfSeason.@id for the corresponding TVSeason entity or replace this placeholder partOfSeason.@id with the actual @id of the TVSeason entity.

Example

TVSeries

My Favorite TV Show

{
  "@context": ["http://schema.org", {"@language": "en"}],
  "@type": "TVSeries",
  "@id": "http://www.example.com/my_favorite_tv_show",
  "url": "http://www.example.com/my_favorite_tv_show",
  "name": "My Favorite TV Show",
  "potentialAction":{ … },
  ...
}

TVSeason

My Favorite TV Show (season 7)

{
  "@context": ["http://schema.org", {"@language": "en"}],
  "@type": "TVSeason",
  "@id": "http://www.example.com/my_favorite_tv_show/s7",
  "url": "http://www.example.com/my_favorite_tv_show/s7",
  "name": "My Favorite TV Show, Season 7",
  "seasonNumber": 7,
  "partOfSeries": {
    "@type": "TVSeries",
    "@id": "http://www.example.com/my_favorite_tv_show",
    "name": "My Favorite TV Show",
  },
  "potentialAction":{ … },
  ...
}

TVEpisode

  "partOfSeason": {
    "@type": "TVSeason",
    "@id": "http://www.example.com/my_favorite_tv_show/s7",
    "seasonNumber": 7
  },
  "partOfSeries": {
    "@type": "TVSeries",
    "@id": "http://www.example.com/my_favorite_tv_show",
    "name": "My Favorite TV Show",
  },
  "potentialAction":{ … },
  ...
}

Radio

If you're a radio provider, you need to add the RadioBroadcastService entity type in your media catalog feed. You can find the definitions for these entities in the Understand the available entity types section by filtering for this type.

Identify the relationships

Since there is only one entity type for such integrations, while there are no explicit relationships that need to be established, ensure that you collect the following information for the RadioBroadcastService entities:

description: The description of the radio station.
broadcastDisplayName: The display name of the radio station.
areaServed: The area where the radio station is available.
callSign: The official government-issued callsign of the radio station. For North America radio stations, this property is required.
broadcastFrequency: The frequency specification of the radio station.
- For terrestrial AM/FM radio stations, this property is required.
- For online streaming-only content, the value is set to INTERNET_STREAM.
broadcastAffiliateOf: The network of which this radio station provides programming. If the radio station is not part of any affiliation, this property is not required.
broadcaster: The organization who owns and operates the radio station.
parentService: The parent radio station. If the radio station is a repeater or translator of another radio station, this property is required.

Example

{
  "@context": "http://schema.googleapis.com",
  "@type": "RadioBroadcastService",
  "@id": "https://www.example.com/stations?id=1",
  "url": "https://www.example.com/stations?id=1",

  },
  "areaServed": {
    "@type": "City",
    "name": "San Francisco, CA"
  },
  "broadcastAffiliateOf": [
    {
      "@id": "https://www.example.com/networks/xyz",

      "sameAs": "https://www.example.org/kabc",
      "name": "KABC Inc"
    }
  ],
  "potentialAction": { … },
  …
}

Music

If you're a music provider, you need to add the MusicGroup, MusicAlbum, and MusicRecording entity types in your media catalog feed. You can find the definitions for these entities in the Understand the available entity types section by filtering for these types.

MusicGroup, MusicAlbum, and MusicRecording let your app or platform play more content from a playlist (MusicPlaylist) once all the content from the seed entity is played. Check out the following scenario:

A MusicAlbum entity contains a list of songs from Album XYZ (a seed entity).
A MusicPlaylist entity contains a playlist of songs that are similar to the songs from Album XYZ.
The MusicAlbum entity includes the MusicPlaylist entity as an Entity-seeded Action.

In this setup, once all the songs from Album XYZ are played, your app can continue to play songs from the playlist provided by the MusicPlaylist entity.

Entity Action and Entity-seeded Action

Listen Actions support two types of Actions:

Entity Action: Plays a specific artist, album, or song (a seed entity). It includes MusicGroup, MusicAlbum, MusicRecording.
Entity-seeded Action: Plays content similar to the seed entity. It includes MusicPlaylist.
- After completing an Entity Action, your app or platform may initiate an Entity-seeded Action.
- An Entity-seeded Action can include playback of the content from the seed entity.

We recommend you include an Entity-seeded Action in every Entity Action.

Identify the relationships

For MusicGroup, if you provide an Entity-seeded Action, identify @id and name of its MusicPlaylist.
For MusicAlbum and MusicRecording, you need to identify which MusicGroup they belong to.
- Identify @id and name of its MusicGroup.
- If you provide an Entity-seeded Action, identify @id and name of its MusicPlaylist.
For MusicPlaylist,
- If applicable, identify genre that best represents the content in the playlist.
- If the playlist is hand curated, identify numTracks.
  - The absence of numTracks tells Google that the playlist is an auto-generated, endless playlist.

Example

  "genre": [
     "pop",
     "2010s"
  ],
  "numTracks":"46",
  "potentialAction":{ … },
  ...
}

Live TV

If you're a Live TV provider, you need to add the Organization, BroadcastService, CableOrSatelliteService, and TelevisionChannel entity types in your media catalog feed to represent your channel lineup. You may also need to provide the BroadcastEvent, TVSeries, TVEpisode, Movie, and SportsEvent entities to represent the associated EPG (electornic programming guide). You can find the definitions for these entities in the Understand the available entity types section by filtering for these types. For a more detailed explanation, you can visit the Live TV Channels page.

Relationships between entities representing Live TV channels

The figure below shows how the Organization, BroadcastService, CableOrSatelliteService, and TelevisionChannel entities are related:

**Figure**: The links between the Live TV channel entity types.

Organization (operator) entity representing the feed provider and also the parent organization of CableOrSatelliteService service are connected using the provider property on the CableOrSatelliteService entity.
Organization entities corresponding to the BroadcastService entities are connected using the broadcastAffiliateOf property on the BroadcastService entity.
TelevisionChannel entities connect with the CableOrSatelliteService entity, that represents the lineup they belong to, using the inBroadcastLineup property.
TelevisionChannel entities connect with the BroadcastService entity, whose programming this channel provides, using the providesBroadcastService property.

It is highly recommended to go through the Live TV channels concept page for concrete examples of how the relationship between the BroadcastService and Organization entities needs to be established.

Relationships between channels and their programming guide (EPG)

The figure below shows how the BroadcastEvent entity links to the rest of the entities in the feed.

**Figure**: The links between the Live TV event entity types.

BroadcastEvent entities, representing the programming guide (EPG) of a BroadcastService, are connected with the BroadcastService entities using the publishedOn property on the BroadcastEvent entity.
BroadcastEvent entities can also be connected to top level TVEpisode, TVSeries, Movie entities using the workPerformed property.
BroadcastEvent entities can also be connected to top level SportsEvent entities using the broadcastOfEvent property.
For channel-less events streamed online, theBroadcastEvent entities connect with the entity representing the live event using either the workPerformed or broadcastOfEvent property depending on what is being live streamed. In such cases, the publishedOn property is not required since the connection to a channel is not required.
