It would be most valuable to capitalize over the experience of the
Condor group, who faced the very same issue.  They have found a
solution, which is probably satisfying.  Making something different
would have to be justified.

    4.1 Condor's ClassAd Mechanism

    ClassAds are a flexible mechanism for representing the
    characteristics and constraints of machines and jobs in the Condor
    system. ClassAds are used extensively in the Condor system to
    represent jobs, resources, submitters and other Condor daemons. An
    understanding of this mechanism is required to harness the full
    flexibility of the Condor system.
