Folks, I shall be unavailable to participate in Friday's telecon, but I'd like to chime in with my view of the datatyping discussion. I think Pat Hayes' latest proposal [1] represents the most satisfactory basis for proceeding on the datatyping issue, combining as it does: (a) tidy literals in the RDF graph (b) simple model theory/semantics -- no model theoretic gymnastics (c) flexibility in use I think the key to achieving all this is the recognition that rdf:value (or whatever it may be called) has a special syntactic role, with corresponding rules of interpretation in the formal semantics.
