Re: Terminology: How to call "IRI or blank node"?

Well, one does not have to say it.  It just follows from the semantics of RDF.



It is the case that the following is not a syntactically correct RDF triple:

   "5"^^xsd:string rdf:type rdfs:Literal .

But that doesn't mean that the string '5' is not an instance of the class of 
literals, just like that doesn't mean that the string '5' is not an instance 
of the class of strings.


There are some (non-OWL) systems where it is possible to state that the string 
'5' is an instance of rdfs:Literal, for example via

   ex:five owl:sameAs "5"^^xsd:string .
   ex:five rdf:type rdfs:Literal .
