I would be interested in work in this area.  I am currently in the first
stages of modelling dante's inferno

http://artes.rww.io/dante/inferno-01

But I'd like to collect a body of poems and literature from previous
centuries.

Currently I've started using the bibo vocabulary (maybe not the best choice)

I'm interested to know how to divide things up and how to add annotations,
any existing work or sources...
