>Some XML Schema primitive datatypes are impossible to use as RDF >datatypes. Therefore XSD intepretations are ill-defined. > >The problematic datatypes include: >duration - because equality in its value space is not well defined >QName - because there is no fixed lexical-to-value mapping >ENTITY - because there is no fixed value space >NOTATION - because there is no fixed lexical space I would say that these cases are not impossible to use, but rather that certain entailments involving them are not well-defined. Section 4.3 of the semantics document explains which entailments require which kinds of information about a datatype. In the cases where such information is unobtainable or undefined, the corresponding entailments will not be supported.
