ISSUE-29

owl:DataRange

RESOLVED: User-defined Datatypes: owl:DataRange vs rdfs:Datatype

State:

CLOSED

Product:

Raised by:

Bijan Parsia

Opened on:

2007-10-25

Description:

the current OWL 1.1 to RDF Graph mapping indicates that owl:DataRanges 
be used to express user-defined datatypes (such as xsd:int > 18). 

Why are user-defined datatypes are not modeled as instances 
of the RDF Schema class rdfs:Datatype (similar to the hack suggested in 
the Protege 3 implementation [1]).  Use of rdfs:Datatypes may make it more consistent with the semantic web stack.
