Custom types can be annotated with description, comments and annotations to enrich the information that is subsequently parsed by a custom application. As an example:
A simple example might be a slot that takes a string as range. A generic data entry application has no way of knowing how big a text entry box to provide, and whether this should accept single-line or multi-line output.
For example, one can create a custom type NameString to be used instead as the range for the slot:
slots:
full_name:
range: NameString
types:
NameString:
typeof: string
pattern: "^[^\\n]$"
description: A description that holds a human readable name
comments:
- This is designed to support different styles of names from
multiple languages, but certain characters such as newlines are
never in names
annotations:
dash.singleLine: true
The dash vocabulary can be used for semantic annotations for applications such as form builders.
