Re: Value type constraints

Jose,

I suggest adding this as a proposed requirement.

The xsd:string datatype doesn’t support language tags though. In “old” RDF, language-tagged literals were special and didn’t have a datatype at all. In RDF 1.1, they have the datatype rdf:langString [1]. So you’d have to say:

    sh:property [
        sh:predicate rdfs:label;
        sh:valueDatatype rdf:langString;
        sh:languageTag "es";
    ].

Or maybe the use of sh:languageTag could imply that value for sh:valueDatatype. Then you could just say:

    sh:property [
        sh:predicate rdfs:label;
        sh:languageTag "es";
    ].

This would work, as rdf:langString is the only datatype that supports language tags anyway [2].

Best,
Richard
