ISSUE-86: rdf:text implies change to SPARQL
rdf:text implies change to SPARQL
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- rdf:text
- Raised by:
- Christopher Welty
- Opened on:
- 2009-01-07
- Description:
- the rdf:text document says """In addition to the RIF and OWL specifications, this datatype is expected to supersede RDF's plain literals with language tags, cf. [5], which is why this datatype has been added into the rdf: namespace. """
I don't recall any discussion on this notion of "supersede". What exactly is being proposed here? I have been regarding rdf:text as a formalization of RDF plain literals with language tags which simplifies OWL2/RIF's job but is not a change to RDF. Clearly any change to the RDF specs would have implications for tools developers, especially if there are any round-tripping requirements, and wouldn't be something to make likely. I don't think it appropriate to hint at such a change in the rdf:text document without more details.
