The ISSN International Centre is currently working on the addition of schema.org<http://schema.org> mark-up to the ISSN bibliographic records published on http://road.issn.org (beta version).
Great! That's exciting news!
Yes great.
I concur with Dan’s analysis on ISSN-L.
I would observe that the relationship between an ISSN-L and its ISSNs is similar to that expressed using exampleOfWork and workExample in other forms - WorldCat Work to OCLC Numbered editions for example: <http://worldcat.org/entity/work/id/1124616>
You could define the [parent] ISSN-L as a Periodical then use workExample to link to each ISSN, also defined as as individual Periodicals containing the exampleOfWork link to the ISSN-L

When we last talked about ISSN properties (thread here: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-schemabibex/2013Nov/0058.html) we opted to start with just plain ISSN. So if we decide to propose ISSN-L now, given that many sites don't display an ISSN-L and only specialists will understand the difference, I would suggest that we at least make schema:issnL or schema:issnl (schema.org<http://schema.org/> doesn't do punctuation in property names) a sub-property of schema:issn so that some understanding of the relationship between the properties can be inferred by machines.
That said, I'm still not convinced that there's much value to distinguishing an ISSN from an ISSN-L given that the mapping between the two is one of the simplest machine-automated processes possible ("I have an ISSN--if it matches the ISSN-L in this table, then it's an ISSN-L and I know it's linked to all of these other ISSNs; otherwise, it's an ISSN and I can look up the ISSN-L that then gives me the links to all the other ISSNs.")
