ISSUE-93: Give a name to "literals that are not language-tagged strings"
non-langString
Give a name to "literals that are not language-tagged strings"
- State:
- CLOSED

- Description:
- Do we want/need a name for literals that are not language-tagged strings?
Language-tagged strings are sometimes treated differently that non-languaged-tagged strings, so that there will probably be cases where it is necessary to refer to "literals that are not language-tagged strings". The phrase is terrible and could be given a shorter name. If the RDF WG does not define a name for this, another WG may do it (cf. the notion of "simple literal" in SPARQL).
A proposal: "typed literals". This will avoid countless confusions of people who are learning RDF with older tutorials and publications. Plus, they *are* typed literals in the sense that they *do* have a formal datatype (as opposed to "No datatype is formally defined for [rdf:langString]"). - Related Actions Items:
