Re: First draft minimalist periodical/article proposal

Hi Karen,

Great! I did two variants of the article example, inlined below. In these,
the items are linked (using our suggested partOfPeriodical). They also
overcome a problem with the current version in the wiki, which describes
four separate items (two articles and two periodicals).

The first is in RDFa, and uses @resource to identify the article and
periodical:

- - - 8< - - -

  <div vocab="http://schema.org/" typeof="Article">
    <strong>Title:</strong><span property="name"> Be Careful What You Wish
For: FRBR, Some Lacunae, A Review</span><br />
    <strong>Author:</strong> <span property="author">Smiraglia,
Richardp.</span><br />
    <strong>Subjects:</strong> <span property="subject">Catalog</span> ;
<span property="subject">Works</span> <br />
    <strong>Is Part Of:</strong>
    <div property="partOfPeriodical" typeof="Periodical" resource="#pdl">
      <span property="name">Cataloging &amp; Classification
Quarterly</span>,
      <span property="datePublished">2012</span>,
      Vol.<span property="volumeNumber">50</span>(<span
property="issueNumber">5</span>),</div><div>
    p.<span property="pagination">360-368</span> [Peer Reviewed Journal]<br
/>
    <strong>Description:</strong> <span property="description">The library
catalog as a catalog of works was an infectious idea, which together with
research led to reconceptualization in the form of the FRBR conceptual
model. Two categories of lacunae emerge—the expression entity, and gaps in
the model such as aggregates and dynamic documents. Evidence needed to
extend the FRBR model is available in contemporary research on
instantiation. The challenge for the bibliographic community is to begin to
think of FRBR as a form of knowledge organization system, adding a final
dimension to classification. The articles in the present special issue
offer a compendium of the promise of the FRBR model.</span></div><br />
    <div resource="#pdl"><strong>Publisher:</strong>

  </div>

Check this out in <http://rdfa.info/play/> to see the data in action.

The other is an attempt to use @itemref in microdata to do the same thing:

- - - 8< - - -

  <div>
    <span itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Article" itemref="partof
details">
      <strong>Title:</strong><span itemprop="name"> Be Careful What You
Wish For: FRBR, Some Lacunae, A Review</span><br />
      <strong>Author:</strong> <span itemprop="author">Smiraglia,

      <strong>Subjects:</strong> <span itemprop="subject">Catalog</span> ;
<span itemprop="subject">Works</span> <br />
      <strong>Is Part Of:</strong>
    </span>
    <div id="partof" itemprop="partOfPeriodical" itemscope itemtype="

This one became a bit more cumbersome, since @itemref is more tricky to use
when markup is interweaved like this.

(Granted, I am more acquainted with RDFa (unsurprisingly, being a member of
the RDFa 1.1 WG). And I readily admit to favor the @resource mechanism in
RDFa over @itemref in microdata. So I may have overlooked some trick to
make it work better. There is also @itemid, which in theory is analogous to
@resource. But I'm not sure whether it is good practice, or even valid, to
use it repeatedly in the same manner.)

Cheers,
Niklas
