I haven't found a way to mark up the player-contributed tags and related information yet, and it doesn't deal well with historical items. Discovered https://github.com/historical-data/schema but it doesn't seem to be active and may not be designed to work for museums, libraries and archives as data publishers.

Closing for now as devising extension to schema.org's markup is clearly procrastination of the highest order.

Some further notes on places I got stuck with schema.org:
I found myself mixing in Book items to supplement CreativeWork markup.

I suspect there's some mapping to do between the heritage and retail mental models for things like 'books'. For example, 'contentLocation' presumably means where the specific instance of a book or object is (e.g. in museum or library collection y) but I'd also want to mark-up where an item was created, which might include variants on published, designed, written, manufacture, prototyped, illustrated, painted, engraved, etc. Ditto for related dates and people...
