(Thanks, btw, to Karen for helping clarify this!)

Would http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/j100165a004 be a
representative example of a plate-as-page-image being used to
supplement an abstract?

How about http://www.amjbot.org/content/97/1/27.full - is that a
representative example of figures inline in an article?

How about http://www.sciencemag.org/content/342/6163/1188.figures-only
as an example of figures as separate entities?

If there are other use cases that you were thinking of, could you
point us at some examples? That would really help us nail it down!

If resolution #3 ("broaden the range of http://schema.org/image so
that it can point at a full http://schema.org/ImageObject") was
adopted, would that also work for the plates in question?

This way the plate images be able to have a name, description, and
other meaningful metadata--in particular, "associatedArticle" (which
really needs its range broadened to Article), "citation" (which seems
to overlap with "associatedArticle" come to think of it), and
"representativeOfPage" :)

Thanks,
Dan

P.S. I had a brief flash of optimism that, in a scanned version of a
given Article or Book where each page is a separate image, the
"citation" property of ImageObject could then point at a citation for
the specific page of the CreativeWork in question, but on further
reflection I don't think that that gives us a good way to point at a
subset (e.g. a single page) of a given CreativeWork... there's
_another_ possible proposal for us to work on at some point in the
future!
