Should we use the interface names for the values of .termType?

Dear all,

we had a long discussion about the value of .termType some months ago.
Because of the renaming of the interface (IRI -> NamedNode), we should
have a look again on that topic, from my point of view. I tried to avoid
changing the values, because of the long discussion we had. That's why
the first proposal was to change the property name [1]. It's not
perfect, because literals have other properties than value and
.valueType would not cover this. Pavlik proposed changing the values [2]
to the interface names. That would avoid additional special symbols. The
RDF-Interfaces spec [3] uses that approach and rdf-ext implements it
that way.

It's a very important topic, so please join the discussion github!

Best,
bergi
