I kind of want to say that this shouldn't be shoehorned into a
non-resolvable URI but instead should be a datatype. It's a special
string. So,

"0915145537"^^xyz:isbn

then you can just use dc:identifier...

Maybe not so obvious with bibliographic identifiers, but with some
other kinds of literals (e.g. weights and measures - thanks mmmmmrob)
it starts seeming quite strange to put what is really a datatype into
the meaning of the predicate...

Cheers,
