Tim,
In
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-interest/2000Feb/0172.html
you raised an issue which was captured in
http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-literalsubjects
as
[[[
Should the subjects of RDF statements be allowed to be literals?
]]]
As recorded in
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2002Feb/0476.html
the RDFCore WG has decided to close this issue:
o the WG resolves that the current syntaxes
(RDF/XML, n-triples, graph syntax) do not
allow literals as subjects.
o the WG notes that it is aware of no
reason why literals should not be subjects
and a future WG with a less restrictive
charter may extend the syntaxes to allow
literals as the subjects of statements.
Please could you respond to this message, copying www-rdf-comments@w3.org
indicating whether this is an acceptable resolution of this issue.
Brian McBride
RDFCore co-chair
