+1 to the vocabulary and the way you're going about auto-generating it.
It's a best practice that we need to build some tooling around (and have
needed to for over a decade). We're really going to need that tooling if
the VC stuff takes off -- vocabulary linting, assertion of best
practices, etc.
+1 to this work item in the W3C CCG as well.
A few thoughts on the vocabulary:
* Use of GS1 vocabulary for location is a good call.
Citizenship vocabulary uses schema.org. We'll want to
see how easily we can map one to the other.
* We should declare periodic table elements in a
traceability vocabulary. DARPA did this work in 2003:
http://explore.dublincore.net/learning_resource/periodic-table-in-owl/
There is also the Ontology of Chemical Elements, which is
current and put together by biometical ontologists:
https://bioportal.bioontology.org/ontologies/OCE/?p=summary
At the very least, we really should involve chemists,
physicists, etc. to determine how this work should be done.

* I'd model the percent composition differently... as a
separate node:
"chemicalComposition": [{
"id": "Tc"
"percentage": "84.61"
}, {
"id": "Mc"
"percentage": "46.95"
},{
"id": "Og"
"percentage": "83.5"
}]
As a side note, it's confusing that those percentages don't
add up to 100 in the example, but I'm assuming that's just
the autogenerated stuff being wonky?

Overall, looking like a great start!
