Hi, Carlos Iglesias wrote: > TestSubjects are ALWAYS passive roles --> can't be Agents Maybe I am misunderstanding the description of foaf:Agent. My understanding is that it is a class of things that "do something". This includes software or hardware that acts on behalf of a user. However, this "thing that does something" does not have to be doing anything when it is being tested. It is just a thing. A super class of software, hardware, and user agents. right? > Software can be TestSubject (passive --> not an Agent) or Assertor > (active --> an agent) "Software" is seen to be a subclass of foaf:Agent (though FOAF does not provide any such class for software). This means that "Software" is always as active/passive as foaf:Agent can be. It is also a thing that does something, it is only a more specific "thing". I don't see your point.
