ISSUE-86: rdf:text implies change to SPARQL http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/track/issues/86 Raised by: Christopher Welty On product: the rdf:text document says """In addition to the RIF and OWL specifications, this datatype is expected to supersede RDF's plain literals with language tags, cf. [5], which is why this datatype has been added into the rdf: namespace. """ I don't recall any discussion on this notion of "supersede". What exactly is being proposed here? I have been regarding rdf:text as a formalization of RDF plain literals with language tags which simplifies OWL2/RIF's job but is not a change to RDF. Clearly any change to the RDF specs would have implications for tools developers, especially if there are any round-tripping requirements, and wouldn't be something to make likely. I don't think it appropriate to hint at such a change in the rdf:text document without more details. See discussion here: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-text/2008OctDec/0025.html
