Description
As mentioned in this discussion,
It might be better to rename the function.
RDFterm-equalputs too much on the "RDFterm" and so reads like 'sameTerm' which it isn't.
[...]
Suggestions for alternative names:
RDF-value-equalssameValue(c.f.sameTerm)value-equals
I agree, and I personally like the second alternative most (sameValue).

👍 to renaming.
My vote goes to
value-equals, or perhaps evenequalsValue.The
sameValuealternative intuitively feels like it could mean the same assameTerm(identical equality), which is not what it is.afs commentedon Mar 15, 2023
👍 to renaming.
We could also consider making it a keyword function as well as an operator.
This isn't a suggestion to do this for all operators; they are dispatched by datatype and have backing functions from XQuery/Xpath functions and operators.
sameValue- preferred. Also add as keyword.equalValue- acceptable. Neutral about adding as a keyword.afs commentedon Jan 23, 2025
Whatever we do, we should leave a legacy anchor
