ISSUE-66: Update XSD datatype map with new XSD 1.1 datatypes

xsd-datatypes

Update XSD datatype map with new XSD 1.1 datatypes

State:
CLOSED
Product:
RDF Concepts
Raised by:
Alex Hall
Opened on:

Description:
RDF Semantics defines an XSD datatype map, and enumerates the datatypes included in this map. OWL2, SPARQL, and RIF each define their own variations on the XSD datatype map, and some of these include new XSD 1.1 datatypes. We should consider including the new XSD 1.1 datatypes in the XSD datatype map defined in RDF Semantics.

New datatypes defined in XSD 1.1, and the specs which reference them, are:
xsd:dateTimeStamp (OWL2, RIF)
xsd:dayTimeDuration (RIF)
xsd:yearMonthDuration (RIF)
xsd:precisionDecimal (none)

Most discussion of the XSD datatype map in RDF Semantics is in an informative context as an example of D-entailment, but there is some language to the effect that XSD built-in datatypes not in the map SHOULD NOT be used in RDF, which is not consistent with their use in OWL2 and RIF for these new datatypes.

Should also include xsd:duration in the type map, since XSD 1.1 fixes the value space.

Resolution from today's call:

[[
Resolve ISSUE-66 by adding xsd:dayTimeDuration, xsd:yearMonthDuration and xsd:dateTimeStamp to the table of recommended XSD types in RDF Concepts ED Section 5.1 (RDF Semantics has a redundant list of the same types; this also needs to be changed accordingly, or removed in favour of normatively referencing RDF Concepts.)
]]
http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/meeting/2012-05-02#resolution_2

xsd:precisionDecimal was not added as it is defined in a separate and only informative W3C document.

The question of xsd:duration has not yet been solved and was spun off into a separate issue: ISSUE-88.

Richard Cyganiak, 2 May 2012, 17:15:28

Oh and the resolution is implemented in the RDF Concepts ED.
