Description

5 properties in SAI have range xsd:string. All of them are use-facing information (such as application name and desctiption).

Therefore, from an accessibility point of view, it would be better to declare rdf:langString as the range of these properties. It requires language tagging, and hints at the fact that providing the information in multiple languages would be a good idea.

Research direction

Start by reading the SAI specification and locate the five properties whose range is currently xsd:string. Change those user-facing ranges to rdf:langString, and verify that all five declarations consistently require language tagging.
