I misread the webpage I was looking at on Literals. I do not want a

To make my question grounded in an example; If I wanted to create

Oddly, there is a missing operation.
Add in SVN -- ResourceFcatrory.createLangLiteral.
You do want a "plain literal".
"Plain literal" in RDF-2004-speak is one without a datatype, and
includes with and without a language tag.
SPARQL (1.0) calls a plain literal with no language tag a "simple
literal" because it has to deal with the differences.
RDF 1.1 sorts this out:
* All literals have a datatype.
* "simple literals" syntax remains but the literal has
a datatype of xsd:string. So "simple literals" and
xsd:string are merged.
* "language-tagged string" has a datatype of rdf:langString
It still has a language tag as well.
SPARQL 1.1 includes this in datatype().
That should not be big change to real applications (or so the RDF-WG
believes), which don't often seem to mix use of simple literals and
xsd:strings. But it will affect Jena's tests and writers more than most.
