This can lead to confusion and potential errors. > Can you deconflict these names by more than just capitalization? rdf:datatype is not a property, it is part of the RDF/XML syntax and when used as an attribute on a property element allows you to set the datatype URI for the enclosed literal. These are used when you want to declare RDF Typed Literals. rdfs:Datatype is an rdfs:Class and would tend to be (I guess) used in different documents from where instance data using rdf:datatype might be seen. The conventions we're using here are following those that already are used - lowercase for properties, leading uppercase for classes. We tried other names but would need complelling better suggestions if we changed them. DaveReceived on Tuesday, 19 November 2002 10:21:08 GMT
