'sameAs' Mark up for different spellings of a Product/Keyword, is it possible?

[Jon-S]

Hi There,

I've seen that for social media profiles you can mark them up to be the 'sameAs', example below: -

 <code><scripttype="application ld+json"="">{
  "@context":"http://schema.org",
  "@type":"Organization",
  "name":"Your Organization Name",
  "url":"http://www.your-site.com",
  "sameAs":[
    "http://www.facebook.com/your-profile",
    "http://www.twitter.com/yourProfile",
    "http://plus.google.com/your_profile"
  ]
}</scripttype="application></code> 

My question is can you do something similar for your product/keyword? For example when you can spell the word in different ways e.g. Whisky (English) or Whiskey (Irish/US). I've had a look at schema.org but I'm not sure if I'm headed down the wrong path?

Thanks

Let us know how it goes, Jon.

"You could try name and alternateName."

I think I might give it a go and see what happens.

Thanks

The SameAs (property of thing) is only for URLs that can be attributed as the same item.

URL of a reference Web page that unambiguously indicates the item's identity. E.g. the URL of the item's Wikipedia page, Freebase page, or official website. I am not sure there is a variant for keywords and global terms. You could try name and alternateName.
