Remove rdf:plainLiteral from Semantics? 2

ora: This issue was opened by pfps

<pfps> sorry, I'm late

<pfps> one moment to fix audio

<pfps> fixed now

gkellogg: related to that, there is an PR on removing ... PlainLiteral from RDF/XML

<pfps> As I see, there are several options - deprecate, remove and note, ...

gkellogg: when that PR is merged, there is no reference anymore to plainLiteral in the RDF/XML spec

pfps: RDF 1.1 fixed the issue, but plainLiteral remained in the Semantics doc
… question is whether to remove it or to add a deprecation note
… I prefer the latter (depr.note)

AndyS: Remove it and leave a change node.
… because it is just a datatype

pfps: With this rationale, rdf:JSON should go too, because it is also just a datatype

AndyS: but that one is not in RDF-Semantics, right?

pfps: Yes. In this sense it's different.

pchampin: Any objection to replacing "remove" by "deprecate"?

<eBremer> +1

pfps: The change note should say that it is removed.

ora: It is at the editors' discretion how to phrase that note.

<niklasl> Removing the URL would be uncool?

gkellogg: Should we and can we remove it from the namespace document?

<niklasl> What's the standing of https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-plain-literal/ ?

pfps: I would say we should remove it from the namespace. It is a historical artifact; none is using it.
… The note in the Semantics doc should include saying that it was also removed from the namespace doc.

<niklasl> From the namespace RDF: rdf:PlainLiteral a rdfs:Datatype ; rdfs:comment "The class of plain (i.e. untyped) literal values, as used in RIF and OWL 2" ; rdfs:isDefinedBy <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#> ; rdfs:label "PlainLiteral" ; rdfs:seeAlso <http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-plain-literal/> ; rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:Literal .

RESOLUTION: Remove rdf:plainLiteral from Semantics doc and add a change note

pchampin: I suggest to record the resolution first.
… response to gkellog that plainLiteral is not in ... (?) but in the RDF file.

niklasl: What pchampin said.
… it would be uncool if the URI disappears
… but a note can be added in the RDF file

<Dominik_T> https://www.w3.org/2003/06/sw-vocab-status/ns#unstable?

james: If there is no longer a definition for it, it should be removed from the RDF file such that it doesn't appear in results anymore.

pfps: There is still a definition in a separate document.

<niklasl> +1 to deprecate (even rdf:PlainLiteral owl:deprecated true . )

james: In this case, okay.

ora: action for pfps to take care of implementing this decision

ACTION: pfps to make a PR to remove plainLiteral from semantics
