    Description
    The act of forming a personal connection with someone/something (object) unidirectionally/asymmetrically to get updates polled from. Related actions: - [BefriendAction](http://schema.org/BefriendAction): Unlike BefriendAction, FollowAction implies that the connection is *not* necessarily reciprocal. - [SubscribeAction](http://schema.org/SubscribeAction): Unlike SubscribeAction, FollowAction implies that the follower acts as an active agent constantly/actively polling for updates. - [RegisterAction](http://schema.org/RegisterAction): Unlike RegisterAction, FollowAction implies that the agent is interested in continuing receiving updates from the object. - [JoinAction](http://schema.org/JoinAction): Unlike JoinAction, FollowAction implies that the agent is interested in getting updates from the object. - [TrackAction](http://schema.org/TrackAction): Unlike TrackAction, FollowAction refers to the polling of updates of all aspects of animate objects rather than the location of inanimate objects (e.g. you track a package, but you don't follow it).

    • Class propertyURL
  • additionalType

    schema.org

    • 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.

  • endTime

    schema.org

    • The endTime of something. For a reserved event or service (e.g. FoodEstablishmentReservation), the time that it is expected to end. For actions that span a period of time, when the action was performed. e.g. John wrote a book from January to *December*. For media, including audio and video, it's the time offset of the end of a clip within a larger file. Note that Event uses startDate/endDate instead of startTime/endTime, even when describing dates with times. This situation may be clarified in future revisions.
