Then it'd be quite easy to have URIs (or >not) for axioms (though this identity would be independent of the >content...yuck!) Why XMLLiterals? Why not use xsd:string literals? Probably they introduce fewer parsing problems; and all that the RDF has to do is not lose them, most of the time, since some external code will have to dig inside them to get the comment out anyway, no? Just a thought. Pat > >Of course, axioms with annotations right now are reified, offering >(in RDF/XML) easy ways of adding URIs.
