Issue 14425: rdfs:Literal (odm-rtf)
Source: Thematix Partners LLC (Mrs. Elisa F. Kendall, ekendall(at)thematix.com)
Nature: Clarification
Severity: Significant
Summary: Need capability to say that the type of a property, when specified without an explicit domain or range, an alternative to an anonymous class might be rdfs:Literal
The statement is made that the profile uses an anonymous class, analagous to owl:Thing ..., which is only appropriate if the user intends the property to be an object property in OWL.  For completeness, include rdfs:Literal to support datatype properties as well.
Resolution: Revise the text under Description in section 14.1.7.1 as follows.
In the second sentence of the second paragraph, which begins, “For RDF properties that are defined without specifying a domain or range,”  change
…”the profile uses an anonymous class (analogous to owl:Thing  in OWL ontologies) for the “missing” end class.
to
…”the profile allows users to 
•	use an anonymous UML::Class, stereotyped by «rdfsClass», that is either the RDFS  library class representing rdfs:Resource (analogous to owl:Thing  in OWL ontologies) or rdfs:Class, for the “missing” domain end class, and 
•	either of those options or a UML::Datatype, stereotyped by «rdfsDatatype»,  library element representing rdfs:Literal, as appropriate, for the “missing” range end class.
