My point was only that we don't need to overload each and every use of a date on the "dc:date" property. > > RDF Datatype provides no machinery whatsoever for global > datatyping, such that a specific datatype can be associated > with a property and that datatype is used to interpret > non-explicitly datatyped literal values. right, so neither can RDF say that "dc:date" is a date either... this is an orthogonal issue to the original discussion, but you are correct. In any case I hope you will agree that given site:last-modification-date rdfs:domain ex:Site . foo:bar site:last-modification-date "2003-03-05" . that we can infer: foo:bar rdf:type ex:Site .
