A DefinedRegion is a geographic area defined by potentially arbitrary (rather than political, administrative or natural geographical) criteria. Properties are provided for defining a region by reference to sets of postal codes.

Examples: a delivery destination when shopping. Region where regional pricing is configured.

Requirement 1: Country: US States: "NY", "CA"

Requirement 2: Country: US PostalCode Set: { [94000-94585], [97000, 97999], [13000, 13599]} { [12345, 12345], [78945, 78945], } Region = state, canton, prefecture, autonomous community...

Property	Expected Type	Description
Properties from DefinedRegion
`addressCountry`	Country or Text	The country. For example, USA. You can also provide the two-letter ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code.
`addressRegion`	Text	The region in which the locality is, and which is in the country. For example, California or another appropriate first-level Administrative division.
`postalCode`	Text	The postal code. For example, 94043.

Properties from Thing
`additionalType`	Text or URL	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. Typically the value is a URI-identified RDF class, and in this case corresponds to the use of rdf:type in RDF. Text values can be used sparingly, for cases where useful information can be added without their being an appropriate schema to reference. In the case of text values, the class label should follow the schema.org style guide.
`alternateName`	Text	An alias for the item.
`description`	Text or TextObject	A description of the item.
`disambiguatingDescription`	Text	A sub property of description. A short description of the item used to disambiguate from other, similar items. Information from other properties (in particular, name) may be necessary for the description to be useful for disambiguation.
`identifier`	PropertyValue or Text or URL	The identifier property represents any kind of identifier for any kind of Thing, such as ISBNs, GTIN codes, UUIDs etc. Schema.org provides dedicated properties for representing many of these, either as textual strings or as URL (URI) links. See background notes for more details.
`image`	ImageObject or URL	An image of the item. This can be a URL or a fully described ImageObject.
`mainEntityOfPage`	CreativeWork or URL	Indicates a page (or other CreativeWork) for which this thing is the main entity being described. See background notes for details. Inverse property: mainEntity
`name`	Text	The name of the item.
`potentialAction`	Action	Indicates a potential Action, which describes an idealized action in which this thing would play an 'object' role.
`sameAs`	URL	URL of a reference Web page that unambiguously indicates the item's identity. E.g. the URL of the item's Wikipedia page, Wikidata entry, or official website.
`subjectOf`	CreativeWork or Event	A CreativeWork or Event about this Thing. Inverse property: about
`url`	URL	URL of the item.

Instances of DefinedRegion may appear as a value for the following properties

Property	On Types	Description
shippingDestination	DeliveryTimeSettings or OfferShippingDetails or ShippingRateSettings	indicates (possibly multiple) shipping destinations. These can be defined in several ways, e.g. postalCode ranges.
