Fwd: testable properties of repositories that could be used to rate them

The messages below should make sense.
Stuart is trying to make a doc for rating repositories.

I’ve added some stuff about Linked Data:
From http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData.html (Linked Data Principles)
 Everything has a URI - publications, documents, people, organisations, categories, ...
 These URIs are HTTP or HTTPS
 When RDF is requested, the URIs return RDF metadata
  RDF/XML supported
  N3 supported
  Turtle supported
  JSON-LD supported
 There are URIs that are not from this repository
 There are URIs from other repositories
 There is a SPARQL endpoint
 RDFa is embedded in the HTML

Is there somewhere I could have taken this from that would be suitable?
Anyone care to contribute?
It seems like it is a really useful thing to have (modulo a bit of specialisation for any particular domain).
(I didn’t want to go over the top on formats, by the way.)
Cheers
