Another comment about confidence value.

Hi again,

I promised myself to close the discussion on the conficence value last
week. However during the workshop we have arranged at Agder University
College last week on metamodel based accessibility testing, the issue
about the confidence value came up again.

The conclusion so far, is also that we do indeed need to be able to
represent the confidence value of the test result. (I indicated last
week that being able to use earl:cannotTell might be sufficient, since
it will indicate low confidence in the value.)

However for automatic assessments knowing the exact confidence value for
e.g. expert systems or learning systems is very important, so we will be
using it internally. If it is defined as an optional feature in EARL,
then others may also be able to use this value from our tools, and we
would hope that other tool vendors also eventually supported it in the
cases where a confidence value makes sense.

Mvh.
