 == Parameters
 * The user's answers, current dialog state label, and other parameters relevant for the dialog are stored in a set of parameters. This is just a map with keys and values both strings. The keys are called the "variable name" and the values the "variable value". 
-* Distance between two parameters is the euclidean distance (sqrt of the sum of squares) of the difference between the two parameter values, on a per-key basis. Only values for which both parameters have the key are compared. For non-numeric values, the difference is usually 0 if the values are equal, or else 1. 
+* Distance between two parameters is the euclidean distance (sqrt of the sum of squares) of the difference between the two parameter values, on a per-key basis. Only values for which both parameters have the key are compared. For non-numeric values, the difference is usually 0 if the values are equal, or else 1. The exact definition differes per implementation.
+* The parameter values are BoolValue ("bool"), DoubleValue ("num"), KeywordsValue ("keywords"), StringValue ("txt") and VectorValue ("vector"). Check the javadocs for more details. 
   * The Keywords parameters is useful if you want to do keyword matching. It contains a list of (case-insensitive) keywords. The distance to a list of words (eg another Keywords parameter or the words in a StringParameter) is the minimu distance of any of the words to any of the keywords. Here the Levenshtein distance is used to determine the distance between a word and a keyword.
