Constructs to represent corrections - and their use in factchecking #3158

Discuss has gone quiet. Auto-tagging to encourage people to re-engage with the issue (or close it!).
This came up via the Trust Project contributions (c.f. #1950) to Schema.org a few years back, and is touched on in the blog post from Andy Dudfield and Leigh Dodds.
From that blog post:
Currently we have:
These are a good foundation, but seem to have been under-utilized so far.
In the context of a ClaimReview, it would be good to know - in the case of problematic claims - if the claimant has made a correction somewhere. This could be written/spoken, informal or formal, or perhaps also journalistic coverage of those. This case I suspect is likely to be largely political factchecking, but there are also other high profile public figures who sometimes retract or correct their claims.
However, we should also cover cases beyond fact checking - books, articles (scholarly or otherwise), media content - these are all areas where mistakes are made and corrected.
I am opening this issue to encourage evaluation of the existing correction vocabulary, especially in the context of factchecking and ClaimReview. Are there important usecases we don't cover, or examples we should add to the site?
