Certainly, if you like, and indeed one I could fix by storing a language tag (or absence of one) along with every literal. No sweat. But then, for Dan to be able to use it, he would need built-in functions: rdf:languageCode a rdf:Property; rdfs:domain rdf:Literal; rdf:range rdf:String; rdfs:label "language code"; rdfs:comment """Langauge tag of a litteral, indicating the natural langauge used. An ISO langauge code, see ISO _____""". rdf:stringBit a rdf:Property; rdfs:domain rdf:Literal; rdf:range rdf:String; rdfs:label "string without language code"; rdfs:comment """The string value of a litteral, without any language code.""". to actaully extract the data, or do langauge-independant comparisons for example. Not to mention a function to build a complex Literal up from String and language tag.... Tim
