Re: RDFa test suite updated

Manu,

there is still a problem with the SPARQL processor access... Maybe I am just unlucky.


- If I try some tests with the virtuoso endpoint, it works (though fairly slow)
- If I try tests with graphene, it works:-) but we know that SPARQL has some problems
- If I try tests with sparqler, which is also the default, it seems to hang. The issue is not with the test itself: if I run the same test with the same URI on the sparqler instance that is running on my own machine locally, it works.

Which is the pity because, in my experience, sparqler is the most reliable engine insofar as the SPARQL implementation is concerned... We did discuss to install sparqler locally to avoid issues with the central server being down (which seems to be the case...)
