Minimum information needed for reporting implementations...

Hi,

Looking at the two implementations (axe / Alfa).  They both are seemingly using EARL – however, in ways that look completely different.

Also there appears to be loads of stuff, especially in the axe report, which is unclear as to its necessity + use – at least from the perspective of someone unschooled in EARL.

That said, I’m erring on using the same format as the axe report, but also wondering if:


  1.  It could be simplified, with unnecessary pieces removed; or
  2.  commented, with comments added (by someone knowledgeable in EARL) into the example in https://act-rules.github.io/pages/implementations/reporting/


Determining how to report in EARL is now holding us up from reporting, and it might be doing the same for others.

As such, a question is also, if EARL is just one choice, should we not have specified the minimum stuff needed for properly expressing an outcome so people could report in something easier than EARL?
