This is somewhat related to having a process to improve the schema (#6, item 1).
Right now the schema definition is simple and pragmatic, but I think it would be broadly useful to be able to add optional structured and unstructured metadata to XML-based databases.
Some possible examples:
- Where TDB lists of references are essentially string reference citations, we could opt for more structured metadata, like a bibtex string, bibtexml, or CFF (as string or XML-flavored)
- Phase metadata: phase name aliases, structural/symmetry information
- Metadata about the database itself, such as author information/contacts, version history, associated publications/citation information for the database itself
- User-facing documentation (similar to TDB
DATABASE-INFO or the text after the > in the TDB PHASE command keyword)
