Each literal consists of a lexical form, which is a string, and a datatype. A literal consisting of a lexical form {@code "abc"} and a datatype identifiedby the IRI {@code datatypeIRI} is written as {@code "abc"^^datatypeIRI}.
Note that literals whose datatype is {@code rdf:PlainLiteral} can beabbreviated. For example, literals of the form {@code "abc@"^^rdf:PlainLiteral} can be abbreviated in the functional-stylesyntax, and other concrete syntaxes to "abc". Literals of the form "abc@langTag"^^rdf:PlainLiteral where "langTag" is not empty are abbreviated in functional-style syntax documents (and other concrete syntaxes) to "abc"@langTag whenever possible. @author Matthew Horridge, The University Of Manchester, Bio-HealthInformatics Group @since 2.0.0
