[Fwd: browsable test results] from Dan Connolly on 2003-09-12 (www-qa@w3.org from September 2003)

The WebOnt WG is in CR, and we're using RDF to manage our test results. http://www.w3.org/2003/08/owl-systems/test-results-out and http://www.w3.org/2002/03owlt/resultsOntology Attached find an example of some of the benefits. I'm only vaguely familar with EARL; I'd appreciate review from somebody who knows more about it. How much of the wheel have we reinvented? -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/

The folk at AIdministrator have used their software (Sesame RDF engine + 
Spectacle portal generation software) to create an easily accessible version 
of the OWL test-suite.

They're uploading the RDF representation of the test-data into Sesame, then 
Spectacle fires SeRQL queries on that RDF to generate the portal at 
<http://spectacle.aidministrator.nl/spectacle/channel/owltestcases>

The portal allows the test-cases to be browsed along various dimensions 
(status, OWL species, creator, topic).
The portal will be auto-refreshed, so it can be used for inspecting the most 
recent status. Can someone advise on the required refresh-frequency? Is once 
a day enough?

They have done the same for RDF at
<http://spectacle.aidministrator.nl/spectacle/channel/rdftestcases>

It's a nice illustration of the added value there is in generating the 
test-date in RDF form.

For more detail, see their message on rdf-interest, at
