The rich snibbet testing tool is using an older version of schema.org.


----- Stuff that is relevant to anyone trying to interpret  schema.org ----

The error seems to confirm that the semantics of domainIncludes and
rangeIncludes are that:
 For a given version of the schema (as defined  by the canonical document
http://schema.org/docs/schema_org_rdfa.html ), the domain and range of a
property are equivalent to the union of all domainIncludes and
rangeIncludes respectively.

The domain and range of the property are of course also constrained by the
domain and range of its super-properties; often the restrictions on the
super property are directly embedded in those of the sub property.  For
example:

schema:position has domainIncludes statements of schema:CreativeWork ,
schema:ListItem
schema:position has rangeIncludes statements of schema:Integer, schema:Text.

schema:volumeNumber is a sub property of schema:position
schema:volumeNumber has domain includes statements of
schema:PublicationVolume
schema:volumeNumber has range includes statements: schema:Integer,
schema:Text

schema:PublicationVolume is a sub class of schema:CreateWork


>From this we can conclude that:

The domain of schema:position is (schema:CreativeWork or  schema:ListItem)
The range of schema:position is   (schema:Integer or schema:Text)

The domain of schema:volumeNumber is schema:PublicationVolume and
(schema:CreativeWork or  schema:ListItem)
       =  (schema:PublicationVolume and schema:CreativeWork) or
(schema:PublicationVolume and schema:ListItem)
       =  schema:PublicationVolume or (schema:PublicationVolume and
schema:ListItem)
       =  schema:PublicationVolume

---- stuff that remains mysterious ----

The rich snibbet tester complains if certain mandatory properties are not
specified.  There does not seem to be a mechanism for determining which
properties are mandatory.
