The Structure of an EARL Report ========================== I think we should be using the new EARL outcome IRIs (which have changed in EARL since the DAWG era). This means changing the text to s/earl:pass/earl:passed/. Best Practices for Reporting EARL to the DAWG ===================================== I'd like to suggest this new set of best practices bullets: "+ An EARL assertor (the object of earl:assertedBy) should be a URI, and may itself contain a foaf:homepage triple that uniquely identifies the assertor." The previous page said that the assertor could be a URI or a bnode, and should include a foaf:homepage. I think ti would be better if we suggested using a URI, but we don't actually use that homepage info, so think that "may" is a better wording. "+ We use the DOAP vocabulary to provide information on the implementation being tested. The object of earl:subject should be a URI, and should itself contain doap:name and doap:homepage triples that identify the implementation." I've added text asking for doap:homepage and doap:name triples, as I rely on these in generating the implementations report html. "+ The canonical URIs for a test (the objects of earl:test) should be based on the test's URI as given by its manifest file. (For example, http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/tests/data-r2/graph/manifest#dawg-graph-01.)" This is unchanged from the previous document. Example EARL ============ Based on the new best practices, I'd also like to update the example EARL RDF in the document to contain the new doap triples. However, I think we'd also need to change the test subject URI (currently http://rdflib.net), as I think that's probably the homepage of the implementation, not the IRI *of* the implementation. thanks, .greg
