Support for high-order data types

[paulboyes]

Support for high-order data types, to correlate rich sensor data with metadata. Example for a camera sensor, we need to model the image URL with the object list as part of the same sensor. Or is there a different way they recommend modeling this data.
struct Camera {
String uri;
List objectList;
}
Vehicle.ADAS.Camera:
type: sensor
datatype: Camera

Structs as datatype is being discussed now and then, see e.g. #326

I think the discussion went less in the direction of complex data types but rather into one realization problem. I would close this one as duplicate to #326.

I agree, but I remember the discussion touching ROS(2), and I guess it would techically be possible to express ROS2 .msg in VSS by using rosidl . If that is a worthwhile discussion to be had, maybe we should open a separate discussion on that
