ISSUE-147: Last Call Comment: Notations as plain literals http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/track/issues/147 Raised by: Alistair Miles On product: SKOS Raised by Erik Hennum in [1]: """ While it should certainly be possible to specify a datatype for a notation, relying on the datatype to identify the classification scheme and thus effectively requiring the datatype seems complex and a barrier to adoption. Would it be possible to use a distinct skos:ConceptScheme instead of a datatype to identify each notational classification scheme? enumerating the notations with skos:Concepts? Mapping properties could then associate the concepts from the notational classification scheme with concepts in the scheme that's the focus of interest. The datatype could then be optional and used for validation of value format (as is commonly expected for XML Schema datatypes). The cost would be some indirection, but that could be mitigated by minting URI identifiers for notational concepts in which the final step is a recognizable variant on the notation for the concept. The benefit would be consistency, simplicity, and a public, reusable SKOS definition of each notational classification scheme.
