It appears that some RDF implementations build RDF graphs where literals with recognized datatypes are represented if they were members of the value space instead of in their lexical form. This does not appear to be sanctioned by the RDF recommendations. So "1.99999999999999999999999999999"^^xsd:float is stored as the IEEE floating point number 2 and "2"^xsd:byte, "2"^^xsd:short, "2"^^xsd:int, and "2"^^xsd:long are all stored as the integer 2. Would it be possible to liberalize the treatment of literals with recognized datatypes in RDF to support this? SPARQL entailment regimes already legitimize something along these lines for SPARQL. I have created issue https://github.com/w3c/rdf-star-wg/issues/136 for this. It may be that it is ruled out of scope for this working group. peter
