"Magazines" (those lowly things) were therefore not considered worthy of OpenURL markup, although the "pages" property allows one to give a text string like "15, 17-19". Note that in schema, the markup for newspaper articles does allow for the jumping between pages to complete an article. Looking at NewsArticle on schema.org I think I'm missing something - it seems to just have the 'printPage' property for the 'exact page name' (as an aside, my very limited anecdotal experience is that page numbering in UK newspapers is much more straightforward (tends to be page numbers, and articles tend to appear on adjacent pages) compared to US newspapers) Owen
