Dear all, 
I need a 'framework' to store performance test results of various kind of 
algorithms and software. I think that EARL is suitable for this purpose, but 
such a test result is not "Binary"(passed or not passed), but a numerical 
value. An example could be the convergence speed of an iterative algorithm, 
or the error of a genetic algorithm after some iterations.

Sean B. Palmer suggested me to use the earl:info property to store such a 
value, and i think it is a good idea. In order to have a common framework to 
handle this situation, should be a good idea to create a subproperty of 
earl:info with only numerical values as range, and to subclass 
earl:TestResult.
