Re: Labels for literals in sh:in enumeration

To me this doesn't look like a SHACL-specific issue. Having display 
aliases for nodes can be solved generically. Even if the drop down menu 
would be coded against SHACL, you would want the same labels to be 
displayed in all other places of your application, too. A generic 
"display label" data structure as you outline with rdf:value below looks 
OK to me, but why would you expect this to be part of SHACL only?
