Ettore, Lucas, thanks a lof for your answers, that's what I was looking for.
Searching for an entity based on a label + language (and optionally
additionnal criteria like instance of) looks like a reasonable use-case,
this could be "packaged" inside magic triples to make this feature directly
available in SPARQL (as other triplestores with full-text/index-based
search are doing).

Cheers
Thomas
