I think the recent "fake news" controversy provides a use case to annotate
documents, by various trusted individuals (or perhaps those in your social
circle) in order fact check, provide commentary, help reach decisions.

Im not sure how good a fit schema.org is for this use case, tho certainly
some terms could be reused.

If I remember correctly, it was one of the original goals of the web to
allow annotations, and collaborative editing.  Perhaps the web annotations
WG is the best place for this kind of thing.

What I envision in future versions of the web is a browser addon that
allows you to read articles, but also where you notice corrections made by
your friends or people you trust, or items questioned, marked, liked etc.
Similarly for video.

Kingsley wrote a great piece on this, and appears to have built some really
great tooling using, among other things, schema.org
