Proposal for a small additions to bib.schema.org

Hi all,

Just a heads-up that I have proposed minor enhancements to the
bib.schema.org extension to Schema.org.

It is for 4 new subtypes of CreativeWork (Manuscript, Poster, Drawing,
SheetMusic), plus adding the *publisher <http://schema.org/publisher>* property
to the PublicationEvent <http://schema.org/PublicationEvent> Type.

This has come out of personal practical experience with a few
national/international library organisations towards applying Schema.org to
their catalogues.

The proposal can be found in GitHub issue (#1448
<https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/issues/1448>)

As I say in the proposal “*Like others, I am reticent to propose/recommend
ever increasing numbers of subtypes to allow categorisation of a particular
domain. However in this case, I believe we are close to covering the vast
majority of types that this domain commonly describes. I therefore propose
the above to attempt to bring this extension closer to completion.*"
