Regarding terminology that is easiest to parse, and also in the interest of a clear distinction between the datatyping vocabulary from other RDF/S vocabulary, I propose the following: xmlns:rdfd="http://www.w3.org/2002/rdf-datatyping/" rdfd:type rdfd:Datatype Thus: <age rdfd:type="&xsd;integer">10</age> giving ?s age xsd:integer"10" . and <age rdfd:type="&xsd;integer"></age> giving ?s age xsd:integer"" . (and probably generating a warning) and xsd:integer rdf:type rdfd:Datatype . etc. Would that be better? User's simply have to keep straight the namespace, whether they are working with datatypes rather than "plain" RDF types, and choose rdfd:type over rdf:type accordingly. [And BTW, it's 'datatyping' not 'datatypes' since we are defining the machinery for the process of datatyping, not defining a set of datatypes themselves] Patrick
