[redland-dev] ruby bindings and typed literals

[Benno Blumenthal]

Hello All,

I am interested in modifying ActiveRDF so that typed literals are 
handled properly. 

In the Redland Ruby bindings, there is a literal subclass of node which 
has a lang and value properties.
And it is possible to define a literal node with the datatype property 
set correctly.

But I cannot see how to get the datatype property back out with the ruby 
bindings.

So what happens to numeric/date/XML literals in the ruby bindings?   Are 
they already converted to Ruby datatypes, or am I missing something?
