I guess it’s time to comment my hacks :P. As you surmised, the “rdf”, “json”, and “validate” columns indicate if the test should, or should not, be included in the appropriate test manifest. The “test-type” column currently takes three values: * —empty— indicates that this is a successful test, with “rdf” and “json” rendering results. * “warning” indicates that the tests are successful, but validation should issue one or more warnings. * “negative” indicates that all tests should end in an error, whether or not they are validating * “invalid” indicates that “rdf” and “json” should render results, but “validation” should raise an error If a CSV file were invalid, it would presumably not generate results, so “negative” would seem to capture this case. If there’s some other category of tests you think are required, we can, of course, add something to support that.
