In the class Address, the example in the Usage for the property "locator designator" (locn:locatorDesignator) says: For an address such as "Flat 3, 17 Bridge Street", the locator is "flat 3, 17".

This property may therefore have values that are language-dependent, e.g. the word "flat" in the example above. The datatype for this property should therefore be Text (rdf:langString) rather than String (xsd:string).

I understand the need, during the webinar of 27 October it was agreed to make locatorDesignator as rdf:Literal.

In the original INSPIRE specification, page 27: https://inspire.ec.europa.eu/documents/Data_Specifications/INSPIRE_DataSpecification_AD_v3.0.pdf

locatorDesignator is a characterString (not a GeographicalName) thus it is more compatible with a Literal than to rdf:LangString, LangString is anyway a subclass of Literal.
