To meet obligations of ACTION-83: In today's telecon, Boris was arguing for restricting the allowable dataranges in datatypeRestriction. In particular, he was citing problematic examples like DatatypeRestriction ( DataComplementOf ( xsd:integer ) minInclusive 5 ) I agree that no use case has been provided for this example, but was concerned because limiting the construct to only datatypeURI would prevent "nesting" datatype restrictions, such as: DatatypeRestriction ( DatatypeRestriction ( xsd:decimal ) minInclusive 5.0 ) maxInclusive 6.0 ) Upon re-evaluating the constructs in light of the change to DataRange made for [ISSUE-28] on 2008-11-21 [1], I see that this can be expressed without nesting as in: DatatypeRestriction ( xsd:decimal minInclusive 5.0 maxInclusive 6.0 ) So, having clarified the current state of the draft, my concern is resolved and I support Boris' proposal to limit DatatypeRestriction to datatypeURI. Thank you Boris for addressing my concern 3 months ago! -- Mike Smith Clark & Parsia [ISSUE-28] http://www.w3.org/2007/OWL/tracker/issues/28 [1] http://www.w3.org/2007/OWL/wiki/index.php?title=Syntax&diff=1341&oldid=1327
