The DAWG has decided[1] that the current set of approved tests constitute a reasonable test suite for the SPARQL query language. The group's hope is that the test suite will serve multiple purposes: + Provide a basis for testing new and existing SPARQL implementations to promote interoperability + Aid implementors in determining the expected behavior of various constructs in the language The DAWG will also use implementations' results of running the test suite as the basis for generating an implementation report for SPARQL, one of the group's exit criteria[2] for advancing the specification to Proposed Recommendation status. It is with that in mind that we ask implementations to attempt to run the test suite and report results to the working group. The DAWG is aiming to generate an implementation report by September 18, so we ask that test results be submitted by then if at all possible. Here's the relevant information: A README describes the vocabularies used to describe and structure the DAWG tests in manifest files: http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/tests/README.html An overview page provides a human-readable description of the approved tests, as well as links to archives of the collected test materials for download: http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/tests/r2 We also have a document showing how to use the EARL vocabulary to report results of running tests against your implementation. (EARL is an RDF schema for reporting test results produced by the W3C Evaluation and Repair Tools working group.) http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/tests/earl While we'd appreciate it if implementors could report results in this EARL format, we'd be glad to receive implementation reports in other formats as well. Please direct questions about the test suite to this mailing list. Test results can be sent to the list as well or else directly to me (but please indicate that the Working Group can use your results). thanks, Lee [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-dawg/2007JulSep/att-0096/21-dawg-minutes.html#item05 [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-query/
