As I already noted http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-comments/2002OctDec/0282.html section 3.1 says "each .built-in. datatype is also defined in the namespace whose URI is http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-datatypes" So to identify an XSD datatype you have a namespace URI plus the datatype name "in the namespace" - a pair of items. RDF uses URI-references to identify resources. Section 3 clearly defines the URI-reference for the atomic datatypes, which is what existing RDF, DAML+OIL and soon OWL are using. Dave
