    Representation of a simple-typed literal

    The literal is in default representation. The URI representation differs from the default representation mainly in the additional presence of type indicators (prefixes or suffixes, respectively); since the type information is stored here separately, the default representation is more appropriate. Should the URI representation be needed, it can be re-created by calling `EdmSimpleType.toUriLiteral(java.lang.String)`.
