Concepts currently says that simple literals are xsd:string. Is this the case for all RDF syntaxes, i.e., are there RDF syntaxes that allow simple literals that mean integers or decimals or floats. Concepts currently says that simple literals consist of a lexical form only. This appears to permit simple literals not to have enclosing quotes. Wouldn't it be better to just say, that concrete RDF syntaxes may support simple literals, which do have an explicit datatype. The concrete syntax must provide a mapping from simple literals to either literals or language-tagged strings as defined in Concepts. For example, 100 might map to the literal with lexical form "100" and datatype xsd:integer or "100" might map to ... or "100"@en might map to .... peter
