It seems that the Axiomatic Datatypes were used rather then the ISO20190 datatypes. The ISO20190 ST datatype allows for the attribute "language", which in turn allows to indicate the language of a string. If the ST datatype is not implemented, in order to claim multilingual conformance, multiple instanciations of an object containing attributes such as "description", "provenanceDetails", "administrativeInfo" is needed . Secondly, if the ST datatypes were to be implemented, this would allow for the attribute "translation" (which is found in the ST datatype attributes) to be present just once. This in turns allows the possibility of having an original description as well as the possibility to have as many translations as available per object instance. If the ST datatype is not present this will also need multiple object instantiations in order to support international terminological resources.
