+* `EQ` (equal): checks if a resource's value *equals* the search value. In
   case of a text value type, it checks for identity of the strings
   compared. In case of a date value type, equality is given if the
   dates overlap in any way. Since dates are internally always
   treated as periods, equality is given if a date value's period
   ends after or equals the start of the defined period and a date
   value's period starts before or equals the end of the defined
   period.
-* `!EQ`: checks if a resource's value *does not equal* the search
+* `!EQ` (not equal): checks if a resource's value *does not equal* the search
   value. In case of a text value type, it checks if the compared
   strings are different. In case of a date value type, inequality
   is given if the dates do not overlap in any way, meaning that a
   date starts after the end of the defined period or ends before
   the beginning of the defined period (dates are internally always
   treated as periods, see above).
-* `GT`: checks if a resource's value is *greater than* the search
+* `GT` (greater than): checks if a resource's value is *greater than* the search
   value. In case of a date value type, it assures that a period
   begins after the indicated period's end.
-* `GT_EQ`: checks if a resource's value *equals or is greater
+* `GT_EQ` (greater than or equal): checks if a resource's value *equals or is greater

   period starts after the indicated period's end (see `GT`).
-* `LT`: checks if a resource's value is *lower than* the search
+* `LT` (less than): checks if a resource's value is *lower than* the search
   value. In case of a date value type, it assures that a period
   ends before the indicated period's start.
