Hi Holger,

The requirement itself has already been discussed in the UCR document.

The background for my interest is using shapes for UI generation.
If you generate a UI from RDF data it makes sense to have the litterals 
displayed in the preferred user language, or to be able to indicate this 
is not available in the data.
When you have a shape describing the UI constraints you can instantly find 
out if the data to be displayed is actually available in the language you 
need.

So if I would use e.g. sh:language or sh:languageIn on a property it would 
be valid if at least one of the property values matches the language.

As much as I appreciate the power of the shacl extensions as described in 
6.1 I think that the language tag is such fundamental part of the RDF spec 
that it should be in core.
We also have a SHACL core constraint for datatypes which are also part of 
the RDF spec

Subject:        ISSUE-137: Re: rdf language tag contraints



Hi Bart,

could you clarify your requirement:

1) Do you want to express that at least one of the values of a given 
property has a certain language tag?

2) Do you want to express that all values of a given property have a 
certain language tag?

On the question of usability, I assume you know that the example in 6.1 is 
not how users would typically encounter this. SHACL has the extension 
mechanism that allows new high-level terms to be defined, even if they 
missed the boat of the current SHACL Core. It would then look like

ex:MyShape
    a sh:Shape ;
    sh:property [
        sh:predicate rdfs:label ;
        lang:hasValueWithLang "en" ;
    ] .

assuming that someone has published a corresponding constraint component 
as a library with the namespace prefix "lang:" (which would be quite 
trivial to do and would exploit the power of the web instead of delegating 
everything to a committee).

Thanks,
Holger

Karen, 

I created ISSUE-137, mentioning ISSUE-35 
I guess this is the proper way to do it.

ISSUE-35 is closed. I think this needs to be a new issue, can refer to 
ISSUE-35 outcome, and the message is: add this functionality to the 
SHACL specification. (Arnaud, if this isn't the right procedure, pls 
advise.)
