There are lots of possible ways to go with ``literals''. One important forcing function, and one that appears to be getting completely insufficient attention in the RDF Core WG, is What does XML/XML Schema do? This forcing function, and the related, What do RDF users do? were behind some of the decisions made for DAML+OIL datatypes. If you don't need to abide by either of the above, then there is much less reason to use the more-complex machinery in DAML+OIL datatypes and in my recent proposal. > Pat peter PS: Does anyone know how to elevate this issue to joint RDF/XML/DAML+OIL consideration? Is the Semantic Web Coordination Group the right place?
