Dear all, we are working on embedding RDF-based ontologies into another host language (see below for background). While saying that some RDF literal has a datatype is hard-coded into the syntax of any RDF serialization, we would have to make it explicit in our representation, and our representation of that would actually be quite close to RDF triples. Let me say it in terms of RDFS: There are classes rdfs:Literal and rdfs:Datatype, and what I'm looking for is just a simple property p a rdf:Property ; rdfs:domain rdfs:Literal ; rdfs:range rdfs:Datatype . I could invent p myself, but maybe there is already some established ontology that contains such a property p. Do you know any? Background, for those interested: We are working on improving the documentation of ontologies. As a means for that, we use the mathematical markup language OMDoc, which supports literate-programming-like embedding of documentation into formalized knowledge. See https://svn.omdoc.org/repos/omdoc/trunk/doc/blue/foaf and then * eswc09-poster.pdf (poster abstract) * eswc09-a0poster.pdf (poster) * mkm09.pdf (full paper, but for a more mathematical audience) Cheers, and thanks in advance, Christoph -- Christoph Lange, Jacobs Univ.
