: Is it correct to replace a general schema.org item with a more specific sub item I've recently been looking at the schema vocab for describing the layout of a webpage. The easiest and most

If your web page is a search results page, simply use SearchResultsPage instead of WebPage.

It’s a hierarchy. Each child inherits from all its ancestors. So a SearchResultsPage is a more specific WebPage, which is a more specific CreativeWork, which is a more specific Thing.

Always go with the most specific type that applies to your case. On a type’s page, the more specific types are linked in the bottom under the "More specific Types" section.
If your web page is both, a search results page and a profile page (which is rather unlikely … even if the profile shows all the author’s posts, it’s not really a search, is it?), use both types, ProfilePage and SearchResultsPage.





putting the sub categories separately inside the webpage object


It depends on how exactly the "sub" items are specified.
If they are added with a property, they are related to the parent item (and the property specifies the kind of relationship).
If they are not added with a property, they have no relation, each item is on its own.
