> >X --s:age--> D --s:inYears--> Y --s:inDecimal--> "12" Sergey, or anyone else, Can you explain how this representation relates to data types such as xsd:duration? Also, what makes it necessary to have any data typing properties at all? We can just make eg. s:age a subPropertyOf xsd:duration and toss in the literal with no worries. I.e.: x s:age "P12Y" . s:age rdfs:subPropertyOf xsd:duration . Eh? I.e, I'm unclear on the ramifications of blurring the distinction between property and data type. Is s:age a "general" property or a data type? Both? How do we segregate the semantics of 'AGE' and the semantics of 'DURATION' denoted by s:age? It just seems to me that this "have your cake and eat it" approach is going to bite us in the rear, eventually... Patrick
