This is feedback on a Last Call Working Draft: Evaluation and Report Language (EARL) 1.0 Schema W3C Working Draft 10 May 2011 http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-EARL10-Schema-20110510/ The earl:assertedBy property is named in an adpositional manner whereas all of the other properties, e.g. earl:subject, earl:result, earl:info, use a role nouns. Change earl:assertedBy to earl:assertor for consistency. In the early EARL model, earl:assertedBy only existed in its inverse form, which was called earl:asserts. For consistency that would now be called earl:assertion of course, but the inverse is used now anyway. There has historically been some debate as to whether noun roles or phrasal property names are better. Some further reading on this issue includes: http://www.w3.org/wiki/RoleNoun http://www.jenitennison.com/blog/node/128 The consensus has always tended towards role nouns except very early on, and this is reflected in EARL's predominant use of role nouns except in the case of earl:assertedBy. -- Sean B.
