In the above example, I was presuming a URI for the Sex class
as "voc://blackeye.vsaa.lv.cv/Sex", with no trailing '/'. You
can't have a trailing '/' on a class name if you want to use
it in an element qname, as above (<cv:Sex ...)

(and apologies, I mistyped the voc:// URIs earlier and left out the
double slashes....   extra shame as it's my URI scheme ;-)

So, your range statement would be

    <rdfs:range rdf:resource="voc://blackeye.vsaa.lv/cv/Sex"/>

With that, your typed values will be valid for the range of
the property.

Presuming that "http://nightman.lv/~captsolo/base.rdfs" is the base
URI for your schema (and I'd just avoid fragment IDs altogether, they're
more trouble than they're worth) then you'd have to define the
range as

 <rdfs:range 
rdf:resource="http://nightman.lv/~captsolo/base.rdfs#SexProperty"/>

Simply referencing a resource in an rdf:about "brings the
resource into being" so to speak. It's the URI that denotes
the resource, and the agreement by users to share a common
interpretation for a given URI is what brings that resource
into the RDF world.

You can adopt the XML Schema datatype xsd:boolean if you like. That's
about as standardized as you are going to find, I think.
