Jeff's concern is probably well-founded, but I'm not sure what we can 
do. Schema, as Martin Hepp has been warning, may well not scale. I 
honestly do not know what we can do about that.

Some citation formats use "In:" to indicate the part/whole. Could we use 
something like "inPeriodical" or "inPublication"? (the latter would 
include book chapters in books).

I think there has been some push-back about having those kinds of 
reverse relations in schema. However, Dan's proposal does have both 
"directions", I believe. Can we do without them for a first step 
proposal? Do we have examples that can help us make this clear?

Yes, although there are other things that can be "paged," like book 
chapters, and like the comic book stories, which is why I thought it 
would be good to have pagination a kind of "free floater" in Intangible 
so it could be used wherever needed.

Mmmm. The Intangible section really is a suggestion for Intangible. What 
makes it odd is that what I specified are three properties but no class. 
Perhaps they would fit somewhere subbed to "StructuredValue"? I admit I 
couldn't really decide what to do with them, but I wanted them outside 
of periodical/article because they could be needed elsewhere.

"Paging" as the class, perhaps?

Paging (class)
   pagination
   startPage
   endPage

As for "Thing > CreativeWork > Article" -- I worded that badly. It needs 
to say that Article needs to ALSO be sub to Periodical (as well as to 
CreativeWork). So we should have:

Thing > CreativeWork > Article
Thing > CreativeWork > Periodical
Thing > CreativeWork > Periodical > Article

If this makes sense, I'll fix the wording. If not, then we need to fix 
the proposal. It may be that the third item above is sufficient, but 
with schema I find it hard to grasp what the "sub-" relationships 
actually do since the end result is a flat vocabulary. I dislike deep 
nesting, which may be what is motivating me in this regard. Again, 
whatever works, I don't feel strongly either way.
