Hi, Since Turtle refers to SPARQL using it for TriplesBlock production, I went there as a comparison. SPARQL Query 4.1.2 "Syntax for Literals" points out that numbers can be written directly (without quotes or datatype) as a convenience. The text points out that the text remains unchanged, which is supported by the example that is provided: 1.300, which is the same as "1.300"^^xsd:decimal So my presumption that canonicalization may be required appears to be incorrect. Of course, any system that parses RDF may choose to canonicalize its data. My point is that this is not a test that should be applied to the parser. Regards, Paul Gearon
