The xsd:float datatype is less precise than xsd:double, and not recommended unless the source data is xsd:float or if precision is not as important as the size of the data or speed of computation. Some downstream applications might be limited to using the 32-bit xsd:int datatype instead of xsd:integer; if so, check to see that the xsd:integer values being passed downstream are within the 32-bit range. Some triplestores cannot do math using values of the owl:rational datatype."^^xsd:string ;
