Re: Photograph, ImageObject, photo, image, thumbnail, thumbnailUrl etc.

I think we can solve (or obtain first clues) of all problems (this kind of
problems), after implement issue #280

  https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/issues/280

The semantic context (and also the semantic of your questions) are enhanced
by a formal "Wikidata semantic assignment":
     anybody can collaborate with issue #280
     at
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KeTSrVjSHRfVRwSgg6-LN0pu6nVre7cspUrkf_gfMm8/

So, let's start with the semantic of Photograph,

   https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q125191
     (by wikipedia "A photograph is an image created by light falling on a
light-sensitive surface")
   See "*subclass of*" section in Q125191, pointing to Q478798.

and the semantic of ImageObject,

   https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q478798
    ("is an artifact that depicts or records visual perception, for example
a two-dimensional picture")

... and CreativeWork,

   https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q17537576
   (... a subclass of "work"...)

*all here agree with these semantic choices?*

(afer consensus we can continue with the good questions!)
(see that with/after  consensus, the "Photograph is a subclass of Image
Object" must be  a consensus)
