Great example:-) I am not sure how to handle it better. I guess what you say is that the property at hand should be taken into account somehow (eg, range) but then we fall back on the situation that either all rdfa processors has to fetch the schema (which we wanted to avoid) or that a processor doing schema processing would produce _different_ triples (and not only more triples). Sigh...

Basically, if the value is in the lexical space of an xsd datatype, it would create a typed literal that datatype, or could be made a Plain Literal through datatype="xsd:string" we may need to enumerate these datatypes and provide a match order, so that 123 is not interpreted as xsd:double. > > I wonder it's not wise to assume that people give correct datatypes e.g. not > > <p typeof="Book" vocab="http://example.org/"> > George Orwell wrote > <cite property="title" datatype="xsd:string">1984</cite> in > <span property="published" datatype="xsd:gYear">1949</span>. > </p> > > but very likely > > <p typeof="Book" vocab="http://example.org/"> > George Orwell wrote > <cite property="title">1984</cite> in > <span property="published">1949</span>. > </p> > > Automatic datatype assignment just based on lexical space would cause > a lot of false positives. > > cheers, > > -- > @prefix : <http://www.kanzaki.com/ns/sig#> . <> :from [:name > "KANZAKI Masahide"; :nick "masaka"; :email "mkanzaki@gmail.com"]. ---- Ivan Herman, W3C Semantic Web Activity Lead Home: http://www.w3.org/People/Ivan/ mobile: +31-641044153 PGP Key: http://www.ivan-herman.net/pgpkey.html FOAF: http://www.ivan-herman.net/foaf.rdf
