On 2002-07-31, pat hayes uttered to Peter F. Patel-Schneider: >Building datatypes into the syntax of literals seems to incorporate >datatyping into RDF much more centrally than the other proposals. It >would mean for example that RDF without datatyping would be meaningless: >all of RDF would be datatyped. This is perhaps the right time to reiterate my earlier point. As far as I can see, literals already have some typing in place because of the language and parsetype fields, now considered an integral part of literals. (Cf. http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-xmllang.) I can't see why the parsetype bit couldn't be expanded into a full-fledged type URI, without things getting any more complicated than they are now. -- Sampo Syreeni, aka decoy - mailto:decoy@iki.fi, tel:+358-50-5756111 student/math+cs/helsinki university, http://www.iki.fi/~decoy/front openpgp: 050985C2/025E D175 ABE5 027C 9494 EEB0 E090 8BA9 0509 85C2
