I propose the following text to be included in the "Errata in RDF" document [1] in the section concerned with RDF concepts [2]: ======================= The following text, in the second bullet of the subheading "The value space" of Section 5.1 of the RDF Concepts document: disjoint from the value space of any XML schema datatype [XML-SCHEMA2] should be replaced by: disjoint from the value space of any other present or future datatype (e.g., XML schema [XML-SCHEMA2]), with the exception of future sub- or supertypes of this datatype The reason for the replacement is that the definition was ambiguous: the relationship between the value space of rdf:XMLLiteral and the value spaces of datatypes not defined in the 2001 version of XML Schema (e.g., rdf:text) is unclear. For example, one cannot infer from the specifications whether there is overlap between the value spaces. ======================= [1] http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/RDFCore/errata [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-concepts -- Jos de Bruijn debruijn@inf.unibz.it +390471016224 http://www.debruijn.net/ ---------------------------------------------- No one who cannot rejoice in the discovery of his own mistakes deserves to be called a scholar. - Donald Foster
