Add language tags to text literals in OWL files #700

Open mconlon17 opened 6 years ago

mconlon17 commented 6 years ago

Best practice is to have a language tag on all text literals that are language dependent. Some text literals are not language dependent (identifiers). These should be marked as xsd:string

By adding language tags, we position the ontology files for internationalization. Additional text values can be added for other languages with appropriate language tags. Software can then choose the appropriate language to display, given local context.
