Re: [dxwg] Definition of dcat:spatialResolutionInMeters incompatible/problematic with JSON-LD (#1536)

@iherman in my experience, many RDF implementations (libraries, triple stores, inference engines) support xsd:decimal. So yes, replacing it with dcat:decimal might disrupt some systems... More problematic: normatively, OWL2 only supports a predefine set of datatypes (including xsd:decimal). Any other datatype is, by default, rejected by reasoners (although Hermit has an option to simply ignore them).
So this would be a daring step. But I believe it would solve problems in the long term.

@gkellogg I agree that sticking to strings (with value objects or type coercion) is the easy way out in JSON-LD. But can we really convince people to give up on number in JSON? This kinds of contradict our narrative that "JSON-LD can still be used as day-to-day JSON" if we add "... expect for this or that kind of JSON".
