RE: Using RDF to describe DOM tests

Hi,

all EARL work is public (as in available to anyone at all, member or not), so
whatever we have you should have access to.  http://www.w3.org/2001/03/earl

The idea is to have EARL in RDF schema, although there are some pieces for
which it seems that it would be useful to provide XML schema representations
- essentially the context (who made a report, when, about what) might be a
mix of EARL, Dublin Core, XML schema - this is not yet fixed.

I won't try to write the EARL sample, having just got off a plane, but I hope
I will be able to do it y tomorrow.

I don't know if the XML schema testing folk are looking at this - do you have
a suggestion for who to ask (or just the mailing list?)

Cheers

Charles McCN

  How would you represent that a test was accepted (or rejected)
  by a specific authority (such as the DOM WG)?

  I did not mention that individual assertions
  in a test case are also addressable by a fragment URI.

  Any comments on whether to embed RDF within the test
  definitions or to keep the metadata in a separate file?

  Also, is the XML Schema conformance test group aware, considering
  or using EARL?

  Any XML Schema for EARL?

  I assume that EARL 0.95 is not available to nonmembers at this time.
  Any time frame for its availability.

  Is the primer document available?
