My proposal before we put it on hold was in the overly long: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2001Sep/0378.html [[[ [1] An RDF Literal is a Unicode string, optionally paired with a language tag (as defined in RFC3066). ]]] in that thread we identified equally rules as follows: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2001Oct/0375.html suggesting that such pairs are equal if and only if the unicode strings are equal and the lang tags are either both absent, or both present and equal (as lang tags, i.e. case insensitive). This then works orthogonally with: - the graph syntax - model theory - datatyping - any treatment of Unicode string normalization Jeremy
