NAME

XML Schema Datatypes and Semantic Web[XSCH]

STATUS

COORDINATOR

MEMBERS

Any participants from the XML Schema, XML Query and XSLT WGs are welcome to join.

OBJECTIVES

This TF will consider two issues:

  1. What URI should be used within RDF and OWL for user defined XML Schema Datatypes.
  2. What is the relationship between the value spaces of the various XML Schema built-in simple types when used within RDF and OWL ?

Resolution of these issues MUST be with consensus of both SWBPDWG and XML Schema WG; further WGs may be involved, e.g. XSLT and XQuery WGs. This consensus, or a failure to reach consensus on either issue, will be documented in a WG Note.

To try and ensure this consensus, review from these WGs will be requested both prior to and after each publication.

DELIVERABLES

A first version of a WG Note describing the two problems and sketching a number of possible solutions. This first version will call for public feedback.

A second version of the WG Note describing the issue resolutions or the failure to resolve.

An OWL Ontology describing the value spaces of the XML Schema builtin simple Datatypes.

Test cases showing the issues resolutions.
