Question: do you assume that namespaces are part of the model? For example, given a URV like xsd:integer:10, is it possible to extract the namespace xsd:integer unambiguously? (My guess is that the URI encoding alone is not sufficient, i.e., by looking at http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#integer:10 it is not obvious whether the datatype would be http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#integer or http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#). Related question: how do you refer to a datatype? Would you use a resource URI like http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#integer to refer to integers? What is the nature of the relationship between a resource like that and other URV-resources that have the above URI as a prefix? Another thing: could you highlight some of the options of encoding the interpretation shown in http://WWW-DB.Stanford.EDU/~melnik/rdf/datatyping/fig/motivating_example.gif in the X scheme (just the 'compact' version)? Would it be something like _Jenny x:weight urv:kg:decimal:12 where urv:kg:decimal:12 denotes m1, or _Jenny x:weight _w _w x:kg urv:decimal:12 where urv:decimal:12 denotes n2? Thanks, Sergey
