Re: Citation markup with Periodical proposal

Hi Karen,

I think this should do the trick:

- - - 8< - - -

<article vocab="http://schema.org/" typeof="ScholarlyArticle">
  <em property="author">Smiraglia, Richard P.</em>,
  <strong property="name">Be Careful What You Wish For: FRBR, Some Lacunae,
A Review</strong>;
  <span property="isPartOf" typeof="PublicationIssue">
    <span property="isPartOf" typeof="PublicationVolume">
      <span property="isPartOf" typeof="Periodical">
          <span property="name">Cataloging &amp; Classification
Quarterly</span>
      </span>
      vol. <span property="volumeNumber">50</span>,
    </span>
    #<span property="issueNumber">5</span>
    <span property="datePublished">2012</span>
  </span>,
  pages <span property="pageStart">360</span>-<span
property="pageEnd">368</span>
<article>

- - - >8 - - -

Check it out in e.g. <http://rdfa.info/play/> (see "Raw Data" tab for the
Turtle).

(As I said some time back, I think we/schema.org might want to be tolerant
of skipped levels of isPartOf - i.e. to allow conflation e.g. of issue and
volume by sticking the volumeNumber on the issue or such (maybe even
flatten it out entirely to stick volumeNumber and issueNumber on the
Article). But that the model shouldn't exclude this level of granularity
when needed. Currently, I think, with volumeNumber being a property of
PublicationVolume, to get such a thing "completely" correct would require
that conflation to be explicit - i.e. by stating typeof="PublicationIssue
PublicationVolume". We may want to revisit that.)

Cheers,
Niklas
