As some points for comparison, you might look at two exisintg and similar

I agree with Brice think you might be over-thinking/over-architecting
it, although over-thinking is one of my sins too and I'm not always sure
how to get out of it.
But am I correct that you're going to be relying on user-submitted
content in large part? Then it's important to keep it simple,
I'm combining several responses into one. Apologies for the delay in getting

This is insightful, Eric. The thrust of our justification to the Mellon
