In concrete syntaxes, the "foo"@en form MUST be used for rdf:LanguageTaggedStrings.” [1] That's really a separate issue from what the systems store internally. It's close to the abstract, but not necessarily the same. A change from a "lexical form" with either a datatype, or language to a pair/lexical form with a datatype is quite significant. - Steve > [1] http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/wiki/StringLiterals/LanguageTaggedLiteralDatatypeProposal -- Steve Harris, CTO, Garlik Limited 1-3 Halford Road, Richmond, TW10 6AW, UK +44 20 8439 8203 http://www.garlik.com/ Registered in England and Wales 535 7233 VAT # 849 0517 11 Registered office: Thames House, Portsmouth Road, Esher, Surrey, KT10 9AD
