Jeremy-- The problem may be that you tried looking for a "datatype". If you google "currency ontology", you'll find lots of references (not just to currencies, but also related issues like representing prices and other monetary amounts). In particular, the message (and associated references) at http://lists.mindswap.org/pipermail/owl-s/2005-September/000492.html may be helpful (I like the idea of a monetary amount being an ontology-defined object with separate amount and currency properties; it makes it easier to use a currency ontology in defining conversions, without having to parse the datatype and its values; but YMMV). I'm not sure how "well-known" any of this is though. --Frank Jeremy Wong ¶Àªl¶q wrote: > > I am looking for a well-known monetary datatype for my semantic > application.
