A google search for 'poem' or 'novel' at schema.org turns up nada.
Painting is there; sculpture is there; book is there; article is there. Poem is not.
But there is a provision for keywords as text. So law, speech, proof, precedent are all relegated to being keywords? As is that key term: peer-reviewed? We have advanced so far beyond Solon, Cicero, Priestley and Edmund Burke. A dialog of Plato, say, The Sophist, would now be tagged ... oh yes, I saw the BBC version so that is under TVSeries. Forget Sophocles. Drama and play are banished?
But Movie and TVEpisode and Recipe are at level 3. GovernmentOffice falls under LocalBusiness ? {a sibling of the latter is GovernmentOrganization.] And how Brits are going to grate their teeth on that American 'z'. GovtOrg was not an option?
Oddly missing is that key term: 'porn'. And 'art' is replaced by 'CreativeWork' so that kitsch can rub shoulders with Kandinsky, YouTube with Andrei Tarkovsky. The final leveling is a couch-potato hierarchy in which poetry is finally banished so that any and all can be labelled "poetic"?
Quantity is there; evaluation is not: tripe, drivel, true-but-trivial, disproven, canard, putative, alleged, hypothetical, unproven, disputed, well-confirmed, assumption, presupposition, axiom, non sequitur, proof, fallacy, tautology, insightful, perspicuous, prolix, pithy, ludicrous, ironic, unscientific, elegant, consistent, coherent ... pre-Darwinian, pre-DNA, pre-Newtonian, pre-Galilean, pre-Hubble, biblical, dogma, credo, cant.
Not to be alarmed: there is an extension mechanism. But surely this first pass at tagging for the triumvirate is a comment on the geeks of America and their managers.
