Re: Action Item: Testable Statement class

Hi,

How about the following tweak to express the intended restriction:

  <rdfs:Class rdf:about="http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/EARL/nmg-strawman#Testable">
    <rdfs:label xml:lang="en">Testable Thing</rdfs:label>
    <rdfs:comment xml:lang="en">A requirement against which subjects are 
    <owl:oneOf rdf:parseType="Collection">
      <owl:Thing rdf:about="http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/EARL/nmg-strawman#TestRequirement"/>
      <owl:Thing rdf:about="http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/EARL/nmg-strawman#TestCase"/>
    </owl:oneOf>
  </rdfs:Class>


Regards,
  Shadi
