Re: Literals workaround?

Please note that in this answer I am speaking unofficially -- I 
hope that the RDF Core Working Group will address these issues 
and provide more official answers, but until then...

I definitely think so -- it's a class like any other, and 
special types of literals should be subclassed form it just as 
you expect.

It's hard to say, but I'd take a look at the DAML work on 
datatyping to get an idea of how to do this sort of thing.

Current common practice seems to be to model them in XML Schema 
and refer to the types defined in the schema.
Hope this helps,
