I'm a little concerned that the specific idioms may have taken on the status of proposals. In my mind, the idioms were ways of _testing_ the various datatyping proposals, with some claim that they (or something like them) were actually being used. Ultimately, the proposals are along the lines of "a literal denotes ..." or "a statement or collection of statements using literals means ...", expressed in terms of a formal semantics. The available idioms flow from that. (And in the process of assembling the proposals we may or may not find the role of properties like rdf:value -- I think that's secondary to this particular debate.) #g -- At 01:45 PM 2/7/02 +0000, Brian McBride wrote: >At 09:36 05/02/2002 -0800, Ronald Daniel wrote: > >[...] > >> > I'm quite confident PRISM (and dublin core and most other apps) >> > will do just fine only using S-B. > >Hmmm, does that mean that our user community is saying: > > o S-B on its own is sufficient > o keep it simple, only give us one way to do things > >Brian ------------------------------------------------------------ Graham Klyne MIMEsweeper Group Strategic Research <http://www.mimesweeper.com> <Graham.Klyne@MIMEsweeper.com>
