#116: Use datatypes in RDF -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: earle | Owner: earle Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: openguides | Version: svn Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: RDF | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Comment (by crschmidt(a)crschmidt.net): There's no practical benefit from this, and numerous costs. This makes working with the RDF more difficult, and it doesn't help with anything in our situation, or in any I can think of. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.openguides.org/ticket/116> OpenGuides <http://openguides.org/> The OpenGuides city guides project

Many RDF frameworks do not do datatypes properly. The big ones -- RAP, Redland, etc. -- don't suffer from this, but rdf datatypes are probably the single least used area of the RDF specification. 2. In cases where it is used, RDF triple-pattern matches *must* specify the RDF datatypes -- this means that anything which is now trying to match on 'en' would have to search for both 'en' and 'en'^^<datatype>, which is annoying in the best case, and damn near impossible to do in the worst case. 3. None of the dc: RDF datatypes that you linked have any definition, so if we *were* to do this, terms that actually fit the bill would be needed -- these probably exist somewhere, but definitely not the ones you linked, none of which are defined. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.openguides.org/ticket/116> OpenGuides <http://openguides.org/> The OpenGuides city guides project

SPARQL will allow you to datatype comparisons and especially with dates, that's a good thing. You should at least be using xsd:dateTime. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.openguides.org/ticket/116> OpenGuides <http://openguides.org/> The OpenGuides city guides project
