I think the current M&S is fairly clear in treating resources and literals differently. There is certainly room for further work on this question, but I think this work is tied in with more general work on clarifying URIs and the whole notion of "resource". It also raises some potentially complicated semantic and reasoning issues (witness the separation of "concrete data types" in DAML). I'd like to see the concepts of literal and resource "unified", but I see this as extension work, rather than fundamental to clarifying the current abstract model. --Frank -- Frank Manola The MITRE Corporation 202 Burlington Road, MS A345 Bedford, MA 01730-1420 mailto:fmanola@mitre.org voice: 781-271-8147 FAX: 781-271-8752
