Hi,<br><br>Is it possible for an Element of a SemanticType to be a reference with RefersTo=&quot;*&quot; or some such, to create an untyped reference? I ask because we are looking to add a generic &quot;notes&quot; feature to our OME Metadata Notebook program, where you could attach essentially a key/value pair to any element in the XML, and it would be nice to be able to use a single type.
<br><br>For example:<br>&lt;OME&gt;<br>&nbsp; ...<br>&nbsp; &lt;Project&gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ...<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;CustomAttributes&gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;ProjectNote ID=&quot;3&quot; name=&quot;&quot; value=&quot;&quot;/&gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;/CustomAttributes&gt;
<br>&nbsp; &lt;/Project&gt;<br>&nbsp; &lt;Image&gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ...<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;CustomAttributes&gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;ImageNote ID=&quot;1&quot; name=&quot;Thoughts&quot; value=&quot;I could have sworn this specimen died yesterday&quot;/&gt;
<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;ImageNote ID=&quot;2&quot; name=&quot;Thoughts&quot; value=&quot;And I'm hungry&quot;/&gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;ImageNote ID=&quot;16&quot; thing=&quot;urn:lsid:loci.wisc.edu:LogicalChannel:OWS67234&quot; name=&quot;foo&quot; value=&quot;bar&quot;/&gt;
<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;/CustomAttributes&gt;<br>&nbsp; &lt;/Image&gt;<br>&nbsp; &lt;CustomAttributes&gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;GlobalNote ID=&quot;4&quot; .../&gt;<br>&nbsp; &lt;/CustomAttributes&gt;<br>&lt;/OME&gt;<br><br>If RefersTo must point to a specific SemanticType, then we must create a separate type of Note for each kind of ST we want to annotate. Or is there an easier way to do this?
<br><br>Also, it is possible to specify the SemanticType's AppliesTo as more than just G, P, D, I or F? For instance, in the example above, it would be cool to just have one SemanticType, &quot;Note,&quot; with AppliesTo=&quot;PDIF&quot; so that it could appear beneath any of the various CustomAttributes locations.
<br><br>Thanks,<br>Curtis<br>
