Peter, In http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-comments/2003JanMar/0087.html you raised a last call comment on the RDFCore WD's which was recorded as: http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/RDFCore/20030123-issues/#pfps-8 The WG has previously decided to reject this comment: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-comments/2003JanMar/0537.html However, subsequent work has suggested that we reconsider this decision. The treatment of XML literals currently proposed would retain the 'simple' version (in which the literals are treated as a special lexical form) in RDF and RDFS interpretations, but treat rdf:XMLliteral as denoting a datatype object in D-interpretations. This would support the entailment you refer to in all datatyped interpretations, for typed literals which do not contain language tags. It would not, however, support an inference of the following form (in Ntriples): ex:bar owl:sameIndividualAs rdf:XMLLiteral . ex:s ex:p "foo"@tag^^rdf:XMLLiteral . |- ex:s ex:p "foo"@tag^^ex:bar since the RDF semantic conditions require that language tags are ignored in non-XML typed literals. Please let us know whether this would be acceptable.
