This wiki: The development wiki is a work area where Jazz development teams plan and discuss technical designs and operations for the projects at Jazz.net. Work items often link to documents here. You are welcome to browse, follow along, and participate. Participation is what Jazz.net is all about! But please keep in mind that information here is "as is", unsupported, and may be outdated or inaccurate. For information on released products, consult IBM Knowledge Center, support tech notes, and the Jazz.net library. See also the Jazz.net Terms of Use.


Any documentation or reference material found in this wiki is not official product documentation, but it is primarily for the use of the development teams. For your end use, you should consult official product documentation (infocenters), IBM.com support artifacts (tech notes), and the jazz.net library as officially "stamped" resources.

Best Practice: Use of RDF data types

State: Draft

Contact: Nick Crossley

Scope

This Best Practice recommends appropriate usage of RDF data types, and considers the implications for query writers.

Discussion

  • An untyped literal (in Turtle, a literal in quotes) is the same as xsd:string
  • In Turtle, unquoted literals have an implicit type - true is the same as "'true"^^xsd:boolean, 42 is the same as "42"^^xsd:int, etc.
  • Comparison of typed literals varies between SPARQL implementations
    • xsd literals and type hierarchy
    • user-defined types extending xsd literals
    • other user-defined types
  • Types used by OSLC
  • Jena performs very strict validation of the contents of literals with type XMLLiteral
