>> not true). I'd like to see something like <xsd:integer >> rdf:literalAbout="123"/>, where "123" plays an analogous role to >> rdf:about. This is the same thing has saying <rdf:Description >> rdf:type="xsd:integer" rdf:literalAbout="123"/>. Suddenly we get > im a bit unclear (perhaps since i don't know rdf/xml). what is the URI for the literal > resource. is it a blank node? or is the URI just '123' ? If we wanted to change the RDF model, I could imagine getting rid of literals from RDF triples, and then reintroducing them as an attribute (not an RDF property) of resources - like a sort of intrinsic value for the resource. I guess you could do that with the current RDF model, if you restricted your data to not allowing Literals to be used anywhere other than as the object of rdf:value. You could then do literals as subjects, by doing a bnode as the subject with an rdf:value of the literal. -- Dave
