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).
