In RDF Semantics, rdf:XMLLiteral is said to be a built-in datatype with special meaning. It is also said that datatypes are classes. Hence it is possible to define a subclass of a datatype. Now, if one defines a new datatype as a subclass of rdf:XMLLiteral : ex:MyXMLLiteral rdf:type rdfs:Datatype ex:MyXMLLiteral rdfs:subClassOf rdf:XMLLiteral Does ex:MyXMLLiteral play the same role as rdf:XMLLiteral ? In this case, the semantics should take this into account, for example here : ''Since language tags play no role in the meaning of a typed literal, they can in practice be ignored, and any literal of the form "sss"@ttt^^ddd, where ddd is not rdf:XMLLiteral, treated as identical to the same literal without the language tag, "sss"@ddd.''
