create PR for bespoke previews in WP (Garth Conboy) (see details)

As indicated in the Google Slides, this can easily be handled using a link:

  • a "bespoke preview/sample" is not part of a publication, therefore it would be handled in links
  • we might want to look into re-using preview as a rel to identify them and if it's too much of a stretch we can either register a new value (sample) or use a URI if we don't want this to get registered at IANA

IMO, the other part of the slide could also benefit from opening an issue. While indicating how to calculate a sample might be a little too specialized, I think it makes perfect sense to have the ability to indicate where the interesting bits of a publication start.
This is used by major players in the EPUB ecosystem to open a publication where it matters to the end user and would already vastly improve how these samples are generated.

No progress yet -- but thinking about it. The guilt may be working.

Brady and I are thinking about:

"@context"   : ["https://schema.org","https://www.w3.org/ns/wp-context"],
"type"       : "Book",
…
"url"        : "https://publisher.example.org/mobydick",
"name"       : "Moby Dick",
"links"  : [{
	"type"            : "LinkedResource",
	"url"             : "preview.mp3",
	"encodingFormat"  : "audio/mpeg",
	"rel"             : "preview"
},{
	…
}],
…
}

Per RFC 1603 section 3 ("preview") this seems exactly what we want -- for samples of either "real" WPs or the audiobook "profile" -- can be local or remote, markup or audio, etc. etc.
