Source[det]rdf_canonical_literal(++In, -Literal)
Transform a relaxed literal specification as allowed for rdf_assert/3 into its canonical form. The following Prolog terms are translated:
Prolog Term Datatype IRI
floatxsd:double
integerxsd:integer
stringxsd:string
true or false xsd:boolean
date(Y,M,D) xsd:date
date_time(Y,M,D,HH,MM,SS) xsd:dateTime
date_time(Y,M,D,HH,MM,SS,TZ) xsd:dateTime
month_day(M,D) xsd:gMonthDay
year_month(Y,M) xsd:gYearMonth
time(HH,MM,SS) xsd:time

For example:

?- rdf_canonical_literal(42, X).
X = 42^^'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#integer'.
