Note:

Thing has:
image  URL  URL of an image of the item.

and

CreativeWork has:
thumbnailUrl  URL  A thumbnail image relevant to the Thing.

which I'm guessing could be a non-specific property that could include 
cover art on a book or DVD, as well as a thumbnail of an art work.

I note that musicRecording has not specified a property for album art, 
and the examples don't show any use of that. (Aaargh! sometimes the 
examples don't see helpful.)

We did discuss articles that are not parts of anything -- like the 
pre-publication articles in arxiv.org. (example in 
http://kcoyle.net/articles/) I also found a number of items coded as 
"article" in WorldCat that are quite vague about what they may or may 
not be a part of:

Nippon (Japanese) Cataloging Rules and International Cataloging 
Principles: Similarities and Differences
Edition/Format:  Chapter Chapter : English
Database: Walter de Gruyter eBooks


I think what I am seeing here are databases that offer separate chapters 
and people are beginning not to care so much about the original book. 
These may be what Shlomo was referring to. I suppose in these cases the 
article could simply be considered "part of" the database?
