You earlier commented on the RDF Core Last Call working drafts, particularly on the design of XMLLiterals. This message concerns those comments, listed as: http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/RDFCore/20030123-issues/#reagle-01 http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/RDFCore/20030123-issues/#reagle-02 and also http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-comments/2003JanMar/0434 "Confusion about wrapping of XMLLiteral" which did not get an issue number assigned. While contemplating various last call issues RDF Core WG has simplified the design of typed literals, particularly XMLLiteral, by removing the language tag. This permits addressing: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-comments/2003JanMar/0434 Confusion about wrapping of XMLLiteral by simply removing the wrapper altogether. The resolution to modify the design was decided on 09th May 2003 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2003May/0138.html and reads: RESOLVED: Typed literals option 4 from msg 0086 which refers to http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2003May/0086 [[ > Option 4: > Language tag is simply dropped from all typed literals including > rdf:XMLLiteral > > PROPOSE Concepts is changed to say that a literal can have either a datatype or a language tag and not both. rdf:XMLLiteral datatype is changed to have the identity as its lexical value mapping (no wrapping), with consequential change to the value space of rdf:XMLLiteral. Other editors to make consequential changes. ]] we further clarified (20th June) that "the identity" was over-simplistic, and the value space remains a set of exclusively canonicalized XML, http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2003Jun/0156.html The new text defining XML Literal can be found in the editors draft at: http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/RDFCore/TR/WD-rdf-concepts-20030117/#section-XMLLiteral Please note that the I18N-WG have made a comment criticizing this decision: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2003Jun/0023.html which the RDF Core has not officially yet agreed a response (although we have spent more than an hour of telecon time on it, with still a majority opposing further changes). I will update you on any further changes (well I hope not!). Please let us know, copying www-rdf-comments@w3.org if: Joe: - these changes make the previously confusing decisions acceptable - if you find these changes address http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-comments/2003JanMar/0434 "Confusion about wrapping of XMLLiteral" in an acceptable fashion Eric, WebOnt: - if we have acceptably addressed your comments: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-comments/2003JanMar/0240 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-comments/2003JanMar/0335 Jeremy
