So far as data types go I'd look at the structure here

http://www.freebase.com/business/employment_tenure?schema=

Something parallel to this satisfies the major requirements for
describing who was the Mayor of Where When;  perhaps the Mayor of New
York is particularly notable,  but sum total of significance of all
mayors surely is greater and enough to be notable.

Of course an uncountable number of "composite concepts" that people
might want to reference that can be derived from a generic instance.
For instance,  "Economy of Japan" might be a good LCSH heading,  but
even the LCSH creates headings like that in a faceted organization
that recognizes that there is an "Economy of [place]" for any [place].
If all of the useful composite concepts were materialized,  you could
puff Wikidata up by orders of magnitudes.
