Re: An approach to xsd:dateTime

Personally, I think this is a reasonable constraint. Another  
possibilty is to default to the local timezone  when one is not  
specified.

The mapping is to decimal (= owl:real value space for us). IIRC there  
was something about 3 digits of after decimal point precision,  
minimum, for seconds.

http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema11-2/#vp-dt-timeOnTimeline is the  
function that maps a dateTime to a number.
