Peter, with reference to your comment http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-comments/2003JanMar/0086.html archived as pfps-09, I am writing to find out whether the following response would be acceptable. If so, I will propose that the WG accept your comment with this resolution. As you know, there have been extensive modifications to the datatyping semantics since your comment was written. The current editor's draft http://www.ihmc.us/users/phayes/RDF_Semant_Edit_Weak.html#dtype_interp now contains an account of datatyping which defines interpretations relative to functions (called datatype maps) from URIrefs to datatypes. This provides a way to have a URIref be a 'name' of a datatype while not including the name as part of the definition of the datatype itself. As the text notes, datatypes are first-class individuals which can be subject to identity reasoning in semantic extensions (such as OWL). Please reply to this message, copying www-rdf-comments@w3.org, indicating whether this response adequately addresses your comment. Sincerely Pat -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- IHMC (850)434 8903 or (650)494 3973 home 40 South Alcaniz St. (850)202 4416 office Pensacola (850)202 4440 fax FL 32501 (850)291 0667 cell phayes@ihmc.us http://www.ihmc.us/users/phayes
