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/ Especially of the OutcomeValue instances in a subsection of ยง 2.7: http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-EARL10-Schema-20110510/#OutcomeValueInstances And the table of instances in Appendix A: http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-EARL10-Schema-20110510/#terms-instances There are three issues: * Why are the instances lowercase, earl:passes instead of earl:Passes or earl:PASSES? * Why is the instance of earl:CannotTell called earl:cantTell instead of earl:cannotTell? * Why does the table of instances refer to "Title" when all the other similar table columns refer to "Label"? This would seem to be some kind of attempt to carefully disambiguate between schema data and instance data. These instances are, however, really being used as schema vocabulary terms, and are part of the core set of the EARL vocabulary. This bug is moot if, as claimed in Bug 018 and Bug 020, OutcomeValue instances are redundant altogether. Bug 020 in particular, though, may be partly caused by the suspected motivation described above; that this is the result of some attempt to disambiguate schema and instance data. If that was indeed the rationale, then this bug should be taken as also claiming that the rationale is misguided. If that was not the rationale, then this bug should be taken as being solely about the capitalisation, spelling, and instance column header issues. -- Sean B. Palmer, http://inamidst.com/sbp/
