itemid (attribute)

The itemid global attribute is the unique, global identifier of an item. An itemid attribute can only be specified for an element that has both itemscopeand itemtypeattributes. Also, itemid can only be specified on elements that possess an itemscope attribute whose corresponding itemtype refers to or defines a vocabulary that supports global identifiers.

The exact meaning of an itemtype's global identifier is provided by the definition of that identifier within the specified vocabulary. The vocabulary defines whether several items with the same global identifier can coexist and, if so, how items with the same identifier are handled.

Note: The Whatwg.org definition specifies that an itemid must be a URL. However, the following example correctly illustrates that a URN may also be used. This inconsistency may reflect the incomplete nature of the Microdata specification.
