another stringType for enumerated strong values #169
Description
We've added a stringType for URIs, but most string values in data are for short strings where the values are one from a small set of possibilities, i.e., the parameter is a kind of enumerated type. Examples would be things like a status value, location indicators, or data classification labels.
We could add another special stringType of enumeration. The object associated with this stringType lists the set of allowed string values:
Here are som examples:
"stringType": {"enumeration": { "values": [ "good", "bad", "calibrating"] } }
"stringType": {"enumeration": { "values": [ "magnetosphere", "sheath", "solar wind", "magnetotail" ] } }
"stringType": {"enumeration": { "values": [ "flare", "CME", "quiet", "coronal hole", "unknown"] } }
