Hi everybody, In response of the action item recorded in [http://www.w3.org/2006/03/22-er-minutes.html#action01], the following is an attempt to summarize the ERT WG requirements on RDF-CL open to your feedback: The Evaluation and Report Language (EARL) is targeted to express test results. The primary motivation for this language is to facilitate the exchange of Web Accessibility test results in a vendor neutral and platform independent format, but it also provides reusable vocabulary for generic Web quality assurance and validation purposes, enabling to state test results for any thing tested against any set of criteria. You can have a look at the ERT WG charter [1], the EARL Requirements [2] and the Schema [3] for more information about EARL. Test results, as intended in EARL, include bug reports, test suite evaluations, and conformance claims. The ERT WG has discussed several times about the need of provide a way to express resources collections which helps to support the aggregation of test results and the production of conformance claims. The Group is interested in knowing how RDF-CL address several groups of pages and see if we can re-use that in EARL. More specifically, the Group is looking for a mechanism to express specific sets of resources that compose the scope of a validation or claim. This mechanism should provide a way to represent the following possible situations: - A SINGLE PAGE Just a single page: e.g. A claim about http://www.example.org/index.html, or http://www.anotherexample.org/foo.htm - LESS THAN A PAGE A snippet of code: e.g. A claim about the following snippet ... <h3>Snippet section</h3> <p class="foo-paragraph">Some dummy test and an <img class="beauty-image" alt="Beautiful image" / ></p> ... wich can be found at http://www.example.org/foo.xhtml - GROUPS OF PAGES * A domain (All the resources within the specified domain) e.g. A claim about the http://www.helloworld.net/ domain * A group of subdomains (All the resources within the specified domain and all related subdomains) e.g. A claim about http://www.helloworldagain.net/ domain and all it's subdomains (e.g. http://www2.helloworldagain.net/ and http://www3.helloworldagain.net/) * A directory (All the resources within the specified directory) e.g. A claim about http://www.byebyeworld.net/internal/*.* * Self-defined (User-defined groups of pages) e.g. A group of 10 URLs, or all the URLs that match an specific regular expression - EXCLUSIONS OR EXCEPTIONS IN A PREVIOUSLY DEFINED GROUP e.g A claim about the http://www.anotherone.com/ domain with the exception of http://www.anotherone.com/private/*.* - And, of course, WHATEVER COMBINATION OF ALL THE ABOVE. e.g A claim about http://www.anotherexample.org/directory/*.*, and http://www.thelastone.com/ with the exception of http:// www.anotherexample.org/directory/one.html and http://www.thelastone.com/two.html The Group has been working on this issue but hasn't reached a final solution until now, so we'd like to know about the work of the WCLXG on the subject. For more information about the work of the ERT WG on this subject you can have a look at the mailing list messages [4].
