add TEXT property to DESCRIPTORS #86

Closed mamund closed 4 years ago

mamund commented 4 years ago

instead of having to use the DOC nested element for any human-readable content, add a TEXT element to hold oneliners

<descriptor id="hatSize" type="semantic" text="indicates size of the hat" />
{"descriptor" : {"id" : "hatSize", "type" : "semantic", "text" : "indicated size of the hat" } }

So, per some of the other options I discussed around ext, is there a reason to not reuse the term doc as an attribute here? Seems there are some cases where that would produce some nice syntactic sugar and the rule can be precedence for xml. This may require a little re-working of the doc wording.

Not sure the value of adding a new text element myself.

i'd prefer to not confuse long strethes of text (DOC) with quick single-string lines (TEXT).

the TEXT can be usesd as rollover content for element in HTML, prompts in some other formats. DOC can be used to product long-form documentation.

thoughts?

what about description or doc-text or title?
