Enables parsing and serialization of XML-type literal metas #200

Closed hlapp closed 5 years ago

hlapp commented 5 years ago

The value of LiteralMeta elements could be an XML literal. This is, for example, used by Phenoscape to capture annotation of character states with ontology terms by curators (using the Phenex application). This change enables these values to be read and serialized, and to be returned (converted to character strings) by get_metadata().

Includes (quite extensive) tests.

Yup, hust had a chance to look over and this looks excellent. Nice test suite too. Merging...
