The derived type is the value of a Property. You can subclass the type
Literal to your desired type (perhaps specified only by a URI of your
choosing)

<rdfs:Class rdf:ID="yourClass">
         <rdfs:subClassOf
rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#Literal"/>
</rdfs:Class>

<rdf:Property rdf:ID="your-name">
    <rdfs:range rdf:resource="#yourClass"/>
</rdf:Property>
