ISSUE-96: XML Schema and OWL2 custom datatypes

XS/OWL2 datatypes

XML Schema and OWL2 custom datatypes

State:
CLOSED
Product:
RDF Concepts
Raised by:
Richard Cyganiak
Opened on:
2012-09-06
Description:
Should RDF Concepts link to the SWBP Note on XML Schema Datatypes in OWL and RDF?
http://www.w3.org/TR/swbp-xsch-datatypes/

And also to the OWL2 feature for defining custom datatypes?
http://www.w3.org/TR/owl2-syntax/#Datatype_Definitions

This was originally raised by Richard Smith:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-comments/2012Aug/0071.html

And updated here:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-comments/2012Sep/0005.html
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-comments/2012Sep/0007.html

A proposal with some support was made here:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-comments/2012Sep/0026.html

[[
Note: The Web Ontology Language [OWL2] offers [facilities for formally defining custom datatypes](http://www.w3.org/TR/owl2-syntax/#Datatype_Definitions) that can be used with RDF. However, RDF implementations are not required to support these facilities.
]]

But this doesn't cover the SWBP Note yet.

An open question is whether the SWBP Note, which dates from 2006, still reflects best practice.

Related notes:

Hopefully addressed by adding the following note:

[[
Note: The Web Ontology Language [OWL2-SYNTAX] offers facilities for formally defining custom datatypes that can be used with RDF. Furthermore, a practice for identifying user-defined simple XML Schema datatypes is suggested in [SWBP-XSCH-DATATYPES]. RDF implementations are not required to support either of these facilities.

Waiting for feedback from original submitter.
