So I'm left wondering what this usage is > supposed to mean. For example, what is a decimal *integer* ? Yes, I agree. That's why I don't expect to see arcs labelled rdf:type with xsd:integer at the sharp end. I expect rdf:type to identify the class of the node at its blunt end, and I think of the class of the object as identifying its value space, and is independent of its lexical space. My mental model. I can change it its wrong; but I don't think its uncommon. Brian
