Details

2002-09-06#4  jjc  review material thus far on specifics of rdfs:Datatype,
rdfs:Literal and the abstract syntax of literals and produce a proposal for
wording in the Abs. Syntax document.

Reviewing

   http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2002Aug/0111.html

With apologies to the doc editors if they feel this is micromanaging, I
suggest that broadly:

   1.1 What is datatyping   -> concepts
   1.2 desiderata           -> concepts 2.2
   2.1 rdfs:Datatype        -> schema
   2.2 datatype mapping     -> concepts
   2.3 type literal         -> concepts
   3.  designation of ...   -> syntax
   3.1 global datatyping    -> schema
   3.2 datatype clashes     -> schema
   4.  model theory         -> ho hum, lets put that in test cases.
                               ok maybe not.  MT doc then.
   5.  schema               -> schema
   6.1  not sure
   6.2  examples            -> primer + other docs at editors discretion

Also needed:

   n-triples representation
   test cases

This suggests further actions:

   Graham or Jeremy update concepts doc to cover 1.1, 1.2, 2.2, 2.3
   Danbri or Guha update schema to cover 2.1, 3.1, 3.2, 5
   Pat              update model theory to cover 4
   DaveB            update n-triples (depends on completion of 2002-09-06#4)
   ??               prepare datatypes test cases

See: http://www-nrc.nokia.com/sw/rdf-datatyping.html

Citation is the datatyping document whose contents are to be incorporated.

New placeholder sections Literals and Datatypes have been created, with some initial text. Final resolution may depend on the outcome of ongoing discusion of untyped literals.

See: http://www-nrc.nokia.com/sw/rdf-datatyping.html

Edited in conceptual material from datatyping draft, per Brian's suggestion. Literals and datatyping are treated in two separate but cross-referenced sections.
