Along with :term:`IRI` and :term:`Blank Node`, Literal is one of the three allowable node types defined in the abstract syntax of RDF. For the purposes of DCTAP, it is close enough to think of literals as strings. Literals are used for values such as strings, numbers, and dates. Interested readers can learn more about how literals relate to "lexical forms", :term:`Datatype`\s, and :term:`Language Tag`\s by consulting `RDF 1.1 Concepts and Abstract Syntax <https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#section-Graph-Literal>`__.
