This is an implementation of schema.org Text, exposed in Stencila Schema as String for consistency with common programming and data models.

Stencila uses a dedicated primitive node so string values can participate in validation, serialization, and data-oriented workflows alongside other primitive node types. The rename emphasizes its role as a primitive value rather than rich inline text content.

See also Cord for character-sequence content and Primitive for the enclosing union.
