Here is an example from a CIM XML.
This looks like a field. The items has additional information beyond the simple name/value pair. This seems to represent an object with sub-attributes description, units, long_name, potentially CF name.

This construct will require a different type of object in the ontology and a different way of displaying things.


line 3837:
<componentProperty represented="true">
            <shortName>acetaldehyde_emissions</shortName>
            <longName>acetaldehyde_emissions</longName>
            <description>Surface emissions of acetaldehyde, prescribed as annual quantities on the model grid</description>
            <units open="true" value="kg/m2/s">
