Text direction for literals #33

Open HadrienGardeur opened 4 years ago

HadrienGardeur commented 4 years ago

In our current version of the manifest, we don't have the ability to indicate the direction of literals.

There has been many discussions in the past about this within W3C, but it seems that things are finally moving in the right direction: https://github.com/w3c/pub-manifest/issues/75

If JSON-LD 1.1 introduces @direction:

Since we're already using JSON-LD 1.1, we won't need to bump our version.

Use of @direction in language maps was deferred within the JSON-LD WG: https://github.com/w3c/json-ld-syntax/issues/280
