Field Definitions

Is there a field where I can put what the field is used for?

For example, if I have a field called site then the definition of that field would be: 'Location or site where the activity is conducted'.

I'd then like to be able to do a query of the meta-data using something like:

select column_name, data_type, data_length from all_tab_columns where table_name='mytable'

and be able to get the field definition data as well.

Any help is appreciated.
