This is a very important part. Whatever is chosen should support inline documentation. In a way, choosing the comment-lacking JSON format is a good thing as that allow the introduction of an explicit documentation key: { subheadline: { "_documentation", "Only used for articles from source X, remove if that source is deprecated", "type", "ImportantText", "stored", "true", ... }, ... } It would be great to have the content from such a documentation field pop up in the schema browser in the GUI. - Toke Eskildsen, State and University Library, Denmark
