Dear WAI Interest Group (IG) Participants,

WAI invites you to comment on the Last Call Working Draft of EARL and 
related documents published 10 May 2011:
      * Evaluation and Report Language (EARL) 1.0 Schema - Last Call 
Working Draft
       http://www.w3.org/TR/EARL10-Schema/
      * Developer Guide for Evaluation and Report Language (EARL) 1.0 - 
updated Working Draft
       http://www.w3.org/TR/EARL10-Guide/
      * HTTP Vocabulary in RDF 1.0 - updated Working Draft
       http://www.w3.org/TR/HTTP-in-RDF10/
      * Representing Content in RDF 1.0 - updated Working Draft
       http://www.w3.org/TR/Content-in-RDF10/
      * Pointer Methods in RDF 1.0 - updated Working Draft
       http://www.w3.org/TR/Pointers-in-RDF10/

EARL provides a way to combine results from different web accessibility 
evaluation tools, and to share results between tools. For example, with 
EARL an authoring tool can get accessibility information from an 
evaluation tool. EARL is a machine-readable format for expressing test 
results in a vendor-neutral and platform-independent format. It is 
introduced in:
      EARL Overview
      http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/earl

WAI encourages feedback from developers and researchers who are 
interested in software-supported evaluation and validation of websites, 
and by those who are interested in Semantic Web technologies for content 
description, annotation, and adaptation. Please send comments to the 
publicly-archived list:
      public-earl10-comments@w3.org
      by *10 June 2011*

Status of documents:

EARL 1.0 Schema is intended to become a W3C Recommendation. The other 
four documents are currently planned to become W3C Notes. The difference 
between W3C Recommendations and W3C Notes -- and Last Call, Candidate 
Recommendation, and other development stages -- is described in:
       How WAI Develops Accessibility Guidelines through the W3C Process
       http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/w3c-process

The Working Group believes is has addressed all comments received so far 
and is looking for feedback, especially on EARL 1.0 Schema before it 
progresses to Candidate Recommendation Working Draft. The "Status of 
this Document" sections of the publications include specific questions 
and guidance for providing comments.

Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you in advance for 
your comments.

Feel free to circulate this message to other lists; please avoid 
cross-postings where possible.
