Mike Smith and I have started gathering information about existing datatype (i.e., unary datapredicate) support in reasoners. We're soliciting reasoner authors to fill in the following matrix: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pTmcCXR-dV6RpTEPxB0O-DQ One thing we might consider is making some of the odder datatype optional, e.g., Name and NCName. Similarly, we might be more explicit about what facets are applicable, or, again, make some facets optional. This matrix could help drive test case generation as well. We don't collect inline vs. external datatype support. AFAIK, only Pellet supports pointers into XML Schema documents. I'd welcome correction on this point! I don't think it's as interesting to gather data about editors because it's much more trivial and it's pretty uninteresting to enumerate the builtin types "supported" by an editor. Cheers, Bijan. P.S. We used a Google spreadsheet since 1) it's a heck of a lot easier to manage than wikisyntax table and 2) we want reasoner authors who aren't WG members to enter their own data :) We can always export and script transform. P.P.S. I hope at some point to gather data on in the wild usage and expressed user desire via some surveys. P.P.P.S if you know of a reasoner that should be in there, or want edit access, drop me a note.
