Peter, With respect to your comment recorded as http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/RDFCore/20030123-issues/#pfps-09 The RDFCore WG have resolved http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2003Jul/0173.html to accept this comment. As you know, there have been modifications to the description of the datatyping semantics since your comment was written. The current editor's draft http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/RDFCore/TR/WD-rdf-mt-20030117/ now contains an account of datatyping which defines interpretations relative to functions (called datatype maps) from URIrefs to datatypes. This provides a way to have a URIref be a 'name' of a datatype while not including the name as part of the definition of the datatype itself. As the text notes, datatypes are first-class individuals which can be subject to identity reasoning in semantic extensions (such as OWL). Please reply to this message, copying www-rdf-comments@w3.org, indicating whether this response adequately addresses your comment. Brian
