String (also character string) is a general term for a sequence of freely chosen characters interpreted as text (e.g. "Hello") — as opposed to a value interpreted as a numerical value (3.14), a link to an item (e.g. $q) or a more complex datatype (the set {1,3,5,7} ). FAMEData will in addition to a string datatype support language specific texts; "monolingual-text" and "multilingual-text" as the value of a property.
