ISSUE-79: What is the value of a literal whose datatype IRI is not a datatype?
undefined-datatype
What is the value of a literal whose datatype IRI is not a datatype?
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- RDF Concepts
- Raised by:
- Richard Cyganiak
- Opened on:
- 2011-11-09
- Description:
- The RDF Concepts spec (in both 2004 and 1.1 versions) does not answer the question what's the value of a literal where the datatype IRI doesn't actually denote a datatype, like <"foo",http://example.com/not-a-datatype>. This is surprising, as there is a section that normatively defines the value of *all other* literals.
There are many possibilities:
(i) the spec leaves it undefined
(ii) that's not a valid RDF graph
(iii) it's a valid RDF graph, but the value, if any, is unknown
(iv) it's a valid RDF graph, and the literal is ill-typed
This should be made explicit.
The status quo is (i). I believe that the model theory says it's (iii). - Related Actions Items:

The person who originally raised the issue (me) is satisfied with the new wording in the spec, as discussed here:

Hence, setting to PENDINGREVIEW.
