[Not sure what went wrong, but her'e a second attempt ...] Sorry to pollute the list with a banal topic but while thinking about what needs to be documented wrt the WG's test cases in: http://www.w3.org/2000/10/rdf-tests/rdfcore/ it seems like a consistent file naming convention would be useful. Anyhow, below are some related questions and comments. Art --- 1. Would the person(s) that created the following test cases: ./rdfms-abouteach/test1.rdf ./rdfms-aboutEach-on-object/test1.rdf ./rdfms-nested-bagIDs/test1.rdf ./rdfms-propElt-id-with-dr/test1.rdf please tell me if these are legitimate test cases or not? That is, were they created soley as a way to test writing on the W3C's site or are they good tests? If they are good tests then would whomever created the test cases, please create a corresponding N-Triples file? 2. The most common practice is to name files that contain illegal RDF: error<nnnn>.nrdf where <nnnn> is a sequence number and I believe the "nrdf" means "not RDF". Since the file naming convention should probably be documented [for the public], I'm wondering if we want to stick with this convention. It seems kind'a redundant to name them both error and nrdf and that simply error<nnnn>.rdf would be sufficient to convey that the file is illegal RDF. 3. The following files: ./rdfms-difference-between-ID-and-about/test1.nt ./rdfms-difference-between-ID-and-about/test1.rdf ./rdfms-difference-between-ID-and-about/test2.nt ./rdfms-difference-between-ID-and-about/test2.rdf do not follow the commonly used file naming convention of: test<nnnn>.rdf Although I don't recall any discussion of "the" file naming convention, I think it would be good to be consistent thus I would recommend that the following files be renamed to test000{1,2}.{nt,rdf}. Likewise, to be consistent with other error files the following file: ./rdfms-difference-between-ID-and-about/error1.rdf should be renamed to error0001.rdf or error000.nrdf depending on what folks think about #2 above. 4. I like the way Aaron created an "Overview.html" file in: http://www.w3.org/2000/10/rdf-tests/rdfcore/rdfms-difference-between-ID-and-about/ Although I don't a README-type file should be required, it is a nice touch. BTW Aaron, can this file be obsoleted: ./rdfms-difference-between-ID-and-about/index.html
