I meant your 2. statement.

examples for datatype date:
---------------------------------
dbo:releaseDate > (after) dbo:latestReleaseDate
birth date < death date

examples for integers:
--------------------------
1 < 2
-1 < 5

examples for strings:
------------------------
Antoine < Kai
'-1' > '5' ?


But I also think that your 1. statement should also be a requirement.
We do not have such a requirement?
When I look over the requirements I do not see that one.
We should add it.


Cheers,
Thomas


Thomas, I'm not clear what you mean by "based on datatype". Maybe you
can give an example.

Also, I see two possibilities, and we may not have covered both:

1) make sure that a value is valid for its datatype (e.g. that a date
really is a date)

2) compare the values of two different properties to some end (e.g.
birth date must be earlier than death date)

We were reading this as the latter, which is what "compare" implies to
me. If it is #1, instead, we could call it "check that value is valid
for datatype"
