Add boolean property 'multiLanguage' to propertyClass #16

Open odungern opened 1 year ago

odungern commented 1 year ago

Not all properties of dataType xs:string are multi-language, for example those of type dcterms:identifier. Even more, those must not have multiple languages; Otherwise information is largely obscured.

A user interface must know whether a property may or may not have multiple languages, so the proposal is to add a native boolean attribute 'multiLanguage' to a propertyClass, similar to 'multiple'. This attribute is only meaningful for properties of dataType xs:string.

The values of a property are unchanged: In case a propertyClass specifies "multiple": false and "multiLanguage": false, the values are represented by two nested arrays with a single text value ... without language attribute:

{    
    .
    .
    "values": [[{ "text": "lorem ipsum"}]],
    .
}

Has been proposed for SpecIF Schema v1.2. Any data-set according SpecIF Schema v1.1 is compatible.
