Re: Encoding key-value pairs in an <abstract>

Yes, that’s exactly what I’m looking for. There is a complete, 
general-purpose, data-typed key-value data structure in TEI and I never 
noticed it. Wow.

Maybe the name threw me off. I’ve seen “key-, name- or attribute-value” 
but never “feature-value”. Is that specific to linguistic analysis? 
Maybe “18 Feature Structures” could be edited to highlight the general 
purpose nature of this part of TEI.

Using feature-value in <profileDesc> could be very helpful to those 
describing documents in Omeka. But <fs> could be used only down in 
<profileDesc><textClass><classCode>. Could it be added to <textClass> or 
even <profileDesc>?

Thanks,
John
