It's not. Instead, you could try expressing your data in RDF or XTM (XTM
should work). XFML was designed to be a very basic format, that's why
it's called XFML Core. There was always the idea that, if I went much
beyond that, I'd be re-inventing XTM and that wouldn't make much sense.

Right now, I think the way forward is to take XTM as the base, and then
define well documented approaches to encode a thesaurus, a CV, a faceted
taxonomy and many more different information structures. XFML will have
its place as a simple, basic exchange langauge.
