I am speaking about an end-point such as http://id.myopenlink.net/ods/webid_demo.html but others could be ok. What can it produce that would be easy for a test suite to consume? Is there a test suite outline somewhere? Note, we've done similar with SPARQL that included EARL reports. What's the equivalent for WebID? If there isn't an outline, just look at how its being done re. SPARQL. Each vendor runs through a set of tests and products an EARL based report. If you need more information from our verification service, please specify, or point to an existing service that is providing required information. Note: http://id.myopenlink.net/ods/webid_check.vsp , the verification proxy service which supports callbacks etc. I know Peter used this successfully a while back.
