LegislativeBuilding

LegislativeBuilding is a direct GovernmentBuilding subtype for state capitols, national parliaments, and congressional buildings. It has no unique properties, but legislative buildings attract tourism, civic-engagement visits, and journalism, so structured hours, event sessions, and tourBookingPage-style patterns pay off.

Useful inherited patterns:

  • openingHoursSpecification: separate the building's general hours from the legislative chamber's session schedule.
  • event: legislative session dates as Event entries for "when is parliament in session" queries.
  • amenityFeature: gallery access, guided-tour availability, security policies.
  • containedInPlace: the State or Country the legislature governs.
  • parentOrganization: the legislature itself as a GovernmentOrganization.

Common LegislativeBuilding mistakes

Mistakes that pass validation but silently fail to earn rich results or mislead consumers walking the graph. Avoid these and your markup will be ahead of most sites in the wild.

  1. 01

    Session schedule in prose

    Wrong
    Session dates as HTML text on the about page
    Right
    event array with typed Event entries per session

    AI assistants answering 'is parliament in session this week' read structured Event entries, not prose.

  2. 02

    Single openingHoursSpecification for building + chamber

    Wrong
    One hours block conflating visitor centre and session hours
    Right
    Separate blocks with distinct name values

    Visitors and journalists target different hours. Name-differentiated blocks let consumers pick the right window.
