Thanks Gaëtan, Michael. I'm afraid I'm still not 100% clear on one point.
Given:
<owl:DatatypeProperty rdf:about="http://example.org/dprop>
<rdfs:range rdf:resource="someXMLns:anXMLType">
</owl:DatatypeProperty>
<a:b rdf:about="http://example.org/aninstance">
<dprop>XXXX</dprop>
</a:b>
Can we actually infer from these statements that XXXX has datatype
someXMLns:anXMLType?
Or would we still have to explicitly say:
...
<dprop rdf:datatype="someXMLns:anXMLType">XXXX</dprop>
...
?
Cheers,
Danny.
