public interface IConcreteTerm
extends ITerm

An interface representing a concrete term. A concrete term has a corresponding data type URI. For instance, a term representing a double data type should return the URI "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#double".

Remark: IRIS supports data types according to the standard specification for primitive XML Schema data types and additional data types required in RIF.
