To support this in neo would we need to include quotes in string values, e.g.

label: '"autobahn"@de' ?

Suggestion: add config option for language tag support. For VFB at present this should be set to False but we could consider supporting in future.

This is a bit more complex than that, because the language tag is not part of the OWLLiteral in the owl API.. So handling this requires proper thought and some custom parsing.. given the current (unlanguage-tagged):

exact_synonym: [
"autobahn", 
"highway"
]

How would that look like in neo with language tags? Like this:

exact_synonym: [
"autobahn@de", 
"highway@en"
]

And then what would gepetto show to the user? You would have to remember trimming the language tags away, if you think of:

emails: [
"a@b.de", 
"a@b.com"
]

Cypher queries for terms with synonyms would become messy as well!

Icebox is a great place for this. I would not do any work on it now.
