For the syntax (and some discussion) in abstract syntax: http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-semantics/syntax.html e.g.,: "The built-in RDF datatype, rdf:XMLLiteral, is also an OWL built-in datatype." See: http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-semantics/direct.html#3.1 e.g.,: "Definition: An OWL vocabulary V consists of a set of literals VL and seven sets of URI references...VD, the datatype names of a vocabulary, contains the URI references for the built-in OWL datatypes and rdfs:Literal. Definition: As in RDF, a datatype d is characterized by a lexical space, L(d), which is a set of Unicode strings; a value space, V(d); and a total mapping L2V(d) from the lexical space to the value space. Definition: A datatype map D is a partial mapping from URI references to datatypes that maps xsd:string and xsd:integer to the appropriate XML Schema datatypes. A datatype map may contain datatypes for the other built-in OWL datatypes. It may also contain other datatypes, but there is no provision in the OWL syntax for conveying what these datatypes are." etc. Cheers, Bijan.
