So, sketching something on the back of a metaphorical envelope... .... Trying to markup a book which dealt with several time periods and included both scientific explanation and advocacy. All sorts and styles of dates/periods would be involved and the scientific/historical significance attached to the different arguments would depend on the "reviewers" (and historians) viewpoint. It's probably therefore a difficult case.... The markup diverges from Allison's summary (I've played with Historical and ScientificSignificance instead of historicalEntity and included a significance property). Also don't expect that the marked up details are dependable... Can be used as a bad example; something to be improved... { "@context" : "https://schema.org" , "@type" : [ "Book", "HistoricalSignificance" ] , "@id" : "https://some.untrustworthymarkup.org/book/wonderful_life_stephen_jay_gould" , "name" : "Wonderful Life: The Burgess Shale and the Nature of History" , "description" : "Palaeontology, Evolution and the Cambrian Explosion of life" , "significance" : "The book provides an accessible reinterpretation of the fossils from the Burgess Shale, their impact on the evolutionary understanding and challenges the assumption that evolution is a synonym for progress" , "author" : "Stephen Jay Gould" , "award" : [ "Rhone-Poulenc Prize"; "Forkosch Award" ] , "isbn" : "0-393-02705-8" , "datePublished" : 1989 , "about" : [ { "@type" : [ "Period", "HistoricalSignificance" ] , "name" : "Cambrian Explosion" , "sameAs" : [ "https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q32919" , "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambrian_explosion" ] , "approximateStartDate" : "approx 541 million years ago" , "approximateDuration" : "approx 20 to 26 million years" , "significance" : "Period when most major animal phyla appeared in the fossil record" },{ "@type" : [ "Event", "ScientificSignificance" ] , "name" : "Discovery of the Burgess Shale" , "startDate" : "1886" , "sameAs" : "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Burgess_Shale" , "significance" : "Burgess shale holds an rich collection of fossils from the early Cambrian period" },{ "@type" : "ScholarlyArticle" , "name" : "Punctuated equilibria: an alternative to phyletic gradualism" , "datePublished" : "1972" , "url" : "http://www.somosbacteriasyvirus.com/phyletic.pdf" , "significance" : { "@type" : [ "HistoricalSignificance", "ScientificSignificance" ] , "significance" : "Defined a turning point in the approach to evolution; moving from considering evolution as a gradual continuous process to one that has rare bursts of evolutionary change" , "sameAs" : "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punctuated_equilibrium" , } }]; "mentions" : [ { "@type" : "Period" , "name" : "Not sure what to call this" , "description" : "The period as people realised that the increasing number of known species would not fit in the Ark" },{ "@type" : "Painting" , "name" : "The Road to Homo Sapiens" , "creator" : "Rudolph Zallinger" , "dateCreated" : "1965" , "sameAs" : "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_of_Progress" }] } .... and I think I'm missing a way of marking up a Scientific Theory Regards, Webfeet "roleName":"Interested Observer" ....
