Hi, I think that the context of testing is very important and it is not very clear to me. I might missing something... My understanding on this says that the context of use is covered by the HTTP headers (HTTP Vocabulary in RDF). I was wondering if this is an adequate mechanism to cover all kind of contexts. From my little experience the context that is delivered through HTTP is very limited and EARL should not be restricted to that. Testing context IMO should allow for more... having that, earl could also be used for building adaptive web. Maybe CC/PP is also suitable here. Now, regarding the place that that should appear I was thinking about Test Subject... just some thoughts.. BTW I have notice a couple of typos in Appendix B ->Properties table -> last 2 rows (Recmmended) BR, Vangelis -- Evangelos Vlachogiannis Researcher - University of the Aegean Contact&More: http://www.syros.aegean.gr/users/evlach/contactme.php Charles McCathieNevile wrote: > Shuaib suggested: > > 5.

It is actually "information about what content was tested" - the HTTP settings, or similar (including anything like particular devices or environmental conditions, although we don't have a vocabulary for those like we do for HTTP - we could use an RDF-ised version of WURFL/WALL for devices, ...). It is an integral part of the Content, and may in fact be all that we know, so I think it does belong where it is. > > But we should explain it better.
