----------------------------------------

I use Locale.ROOT for convertions to avoid the Turkish issue. Please see https://garygregory.wordpress.com/2015/11/03/java-lowercase-conversion-turkey/

> The RDF-1.1 specification states that the value space of Literal language tags is lowercase, which does not conflict with the case-insensitive specification in BCP47. The Literal.equals and Literal.hashCode API contracts should specify that language tags must be compared using lowercase, even if they are otherwise stored and returned as upper-case by getLanguageTag. The API currently has incorrect language by saying "character-by-character" for language tag comparisons, as that implies case-sensitive comparisons are used.
> The lowercasing must also be done using a locale that is consistent (known example where lowercase and uppercase do not roundtrip as expected for US-ASCII characters is Turkish [1]), so I would recommend actually stating that .toLowerCase(Locale.ENGLISH) is used.
