Things to think about wrt the semantics: 1/ Ill-typed literals no longer denote. Decided by a WG vote (pointer?), so OK, but this is the main change, so it should be well documented. 2/ LV is the union of all recognized datatype value spaces. No visible changes in RDF/S/D, I think, but has visibility in OWL, e.g., an instance of rdfs:Literal would have to belong to one of the recognized datatypes. This would be non-monotonic with respect to adding more datatypes. 3/ Status of simple interpretations where, e.g., IL("aaa"^^xsd:string) = "sss" These are possible, but then break down in a strange way when looking at the semantic conditions for ground graphs. They are not {xsd:string}-interpretations. Proposed fixes: 1/ Move built-in literals out of simple semantic conditions for ground graphs. Does anyone use simple semantics? 2/ "Fix" datatypes, allowing other datatypes that have language tags (but no RDF syntax would permit them). This makes rdf:langString a regular datatype. This would allow, for example, internationalized numerics, i.e., "123,1"@fr^^xsd:decimal. (Well maybe not using xsd:decimal, but you get the idea.) Is this too radical for this late in the game? However, who would notice if the change is only made in Semantics, without a corresponding change in Concepts? 3/ Make RDF interpretations be {rdf:XMLLiteral, rdf:HTML, rdf:langString, xsd:string}-interpretations (as they are now in Semantics, but I do seem to remember something about rdf:XMLLiteral not being part of RDF any more). peter > On 26-02-13 16:46, Guus Schreiber wrote: > >> See: >> >> http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/**wiki/Meetings:Telecon2013.02.**27<http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/wiki/Meetings:Telecon2013.02.27> >> >> Main agenda items: >> - admin Turtle comments & tests (short) >> - road to FPWD for Semantics >> - road to LC for Concepts >> - reviewers for JSON-LD draft >> >> Guus >> >> >
