This document contains and presents test cases for the Web Ontology Language (OWL) approved by the Web Ontology Working Group. Many of the test cases illustrate the correct usage of the Web Ontology Language (OWL), and the formal meaning of its constructs. Other test cases illustrate the resolution of issues considered by the working group.
This section is largely untrue, and describes aspiration rather than fact. In fact, this document is merely the work of its authors for consideration by the Web Ontology Working Group.
This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. Other documents may supersede this document. The latest status of this document series is maintained at the W3C.
The approved test cases in this document represent the consensus of the Web Ontology Working Group as at 7th October 2002. In later versions of this document many of the proposed tests will have moved into the approved tests section, either positively or negatively, depending on the working group consensus on the underlying issues. This document is subsidiary to the other Web Ontology Language recommendation track documents ([OWL Language], [OWL Abstract Syntax], [OWL Formal Semantics]) that give the formal definition of the language. The test cases described in this document (both approved and proposed) may be updated, replaced, negated or obsoleted at any time; despite this the working group would value implementor feedback on them. For this first Working Draft, feedback is particularly sought on issues of test format, description, process and presentation.

This is a W3C Working Draft for review by W3C members and other interested parties. It is a draft document and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use W3C Working Drafts as reference materials or to cite them as other than "work in progress." A list of current W3C Recommendations and other technical documents can be found at http://www.w3.org/TR/.
This document has been produced as part of the W3C Semantic Web Activity (Activity Statement) following the procedures set out for the W3C Process. The document has been written by the Web Ontology Working Group. The goals of the Web Ontology working group are discussed in the Web Ontology Working Group charter.
As part of the definition of the Web Ontology Language (OWL) [OWL Language] the Web Ontology Working Group provides a set of test cases. This document contains those test cases. They are intended to provide examples for, and clarification of, the other recommendation track documents ([OWL Language], [OWL Abstract Syntax], [OWL Formal Semantics]) to which this document is subsiduary.
This document describes the various types of test used
and the format in which the tests
are presented.
Alternative formats of the test collection are provided.
These are intended to be suitable
for use by OWL developers in test harnesses,
possibly as part of a test driven development process,
such as Extreme Programming [XP].
The format of the Manifest
files
used as part of these alternative formats is described.
This document describes the process for conflict resolution and errata related to these tests.
In the non-normative appendices, this document also describes the process for creation and approval of these tests.
Further appendices show further proposed tests that are awaiting resolution by the working group.
The test cases do not constitute a conformance test suite for OWL.
The test illustrate issue resolutions, and illustrate the use and meaning of the terms in the OWL namespace.
There are [[not in this version]] other miscellaneous tests motivated individually.
The deliverables included as part of the test cases are:
Note: Other files can be found under the top URL of the web-site which are not part of the deliverable.
[[EDITORS' NOTE: Do we want index files for the web site that clarify which parts are part of the deliverable and which are not?]]
Of the deliverables the only normative tests are those included in the recommendation track document. All other deliverables, are informative. Moreover, the recommendation document is informative except for the test data (specified in RDF/XML [RDF/XML Syntax]).
When the normative tests and the other normative OWL recommendations diverge the following process should be followed.
If the OWL working drafts are at or before last call then:
If the OWL recommendation has passed last call then:
NOTE: this last step does not require consensus, or even a majority.
NOTE: the errata process over the tests is monotonic decreasing.
Each test consists of either one or two RDF/XML documents and a Manifest
file.
Tests of one document indicate some property of that document
when viewed as an OWL knowledge base.
Tests of two documents indicate a relationship between the two documents
when viewed as OWL knowledge bases.
The Manifest
file is ManifestNNN.rdf
(The NNN
is replaced by the test number).
It contains metadata (in RDF) indicating the test type,
and describing the test.
These tests use one document.
It is named badNNN.rdf
.
This document includes a use of the OWL namespace with a local name
that is not defined by the OWL recommendation.
Note: These tests are intended to help migration from DAML+OIL [DAML+OIL], since the local names chosen are defined in the DAML+OIL namespace.
These tests use two documents.
One is named premisesNNN.rdf
,
the other is named conclusionsNNN.rdf
.
The conclusions
are entailed by the premises
.
Such entailment is defined by the OWL Formal Semantics [OWL Formal Semantics].
These tests use two documents.
One is named premisesNNN.rdf
,
the other is named nonconclusionsNNN.rdf
.
The nonconclusions
are not entailed by the premises
.
Such entailment is defined by the OWL Formal Semantics [OWL Formal Semantics].
These tests use one document.
It is named consistentNNN.rdf
.
The document is consistent as defined
by the OWL Formal Semantics [OWL Formal Semantics].
These tests use one document.
It is named inconsistentNNN.rdf
.
The document is inconsistent as defined
by the OWL Formal Semantics [OWL Formal Semantics].
During development, tests that are not of one of the above types, are classified as miscellaneous while awaiting a new test type to be defined.
This document does not define criteria for how any specific OWL system should respond to the test data. Appropriate use of these tests should be determined by the system developers.
The following guidelines are offered.
Any OWL compliant system should be able to read and process all the test input files. Moreover, those files that show an incorrect use of the OWL namespace should result in the system issuing a diagnostic.
OWL reasoners should be able to prove many of the relationships shown in these tests. However, incomplete reasoners may fail to find proofs of some truths illustrated by these test cases.
In detail, we may see that, a reasoner is unsound when:
A reasoner is incomplete if:
The Manifest
file follows the RDF schema developed
for the RDF Test Cases [RDF Test Cases].
This is augmented by a few new properties and types which are declared in the OWL Test Ontology, found at http://www.w3.org/2002/03owlt/testOntology.
Specifically each test has its own Manifest
file, and is identified from
the URI reference formed from the Manifest
file's URL with a fragment test
.
The test has one rdf:type
explicit, and this is one of:
otest:NotOwlFeatureTest
otest:PositiveEntailmentTest
otest:NegativeEntailmentTest
otest:ConsistencyTest
otest:InconsistencyTest
rtest:MiscellaneousTest
Where otest
is bound to
http://www.w3.org/2002/03owlt/testOntology#
and rtest
is bound to
http://www.w3.org/2000/10/rdf-tests/rdfcore/testSchema#
.
The name of the original author of the test is shown using a
dc:creator
property, see [Dublin Core].
A description of the test is given (using Xhtml markup [XHTML])
as the value of the rtest:description
property.
An issue, if any, from the OWL Issues list [OWL Issues], is
the value of a rtest:issue
property.
An appropriate language feature, from the OWL namespace, if any, is
the value of the otest:feature
property.
The input documents with the test data are found as the value of
the rtest:inputDocument
property or
as the value of both the
rtest:premiseDocument
and
the
rtest:conclusionDocument
.

Tests are created by members of the working group. An (optional) test editor is provided to facilitate this. Tests are then placed in the appropriate directory in the test web site. This is done using CVS access to the W3C CVS server [W3C CVS].
When created, tests are given a status of "PROPOSED"
.
The author of the test creates a Manifest file in the directory
of the new test, identifying:
"PROPOSED"
.
At the chair's discretion, individual tests or groups of tests are put to the working group in the weekly telecon or at a face-to-face meeting.
The chair actions two members of the working group to review the tests a week before putting the test to the group.
If the Working Group approves a test, then it is included in the test case document.
The Working Group may reject a test, in which case its status is
changed to "REJECTED"
. This does not indicate that the
converse of the test has been accepted. There may be stylistic
or other grounds for rejecting technically correct tests.
The Working Group has complete discretion to approve or reject tests independent of their conformance with this process or their conformance with the OWL working drafts.
In the light of new information, and at the chairs' discretion, the working group
may review any previous decision regarding any test cases. The status of
"OBSOLETED"
may be used where a test has ceased to be appropriate.
Until this document reaches last call, the editors may make editorial changes to approved tests. This includes:
There is a preference for the following stylistic rules. None of these rules is obligatory, but test authors should be minded that it will be easier to gain working gain group consensus if they follow these rules.
Tests should normally be expressed in RDF/XML.
Jeremy disagrees with the rest of this subsection and moves to strike the text. It is intended to reflect Peter's proposal to restrict RDF/XML to simple striped syntax.
The following RDF/XML grammar rules [RDF/XML Syntax] are not used:
rdf:parseType="Resource"
.
rdf:ID
, both for
reification and as an alternative to rdf:about
.
Moreover, all URI references in rdf:about
and rdf:resource
attribute values
are absolute.
xml:base
Test and manifest files should have an xml:base
attribute
[XMLBASE]
on
the document element. This should show the preferred URL
of the document, from which it is actually retrievable.
Files that contain no relative URIs may omit the xml:base
attribute.
Test and manifest files should use the ".rdf"
suffix. URIs should not. The URL used for xml:base
declarations
does not have a suffix.
example
Domains
All URLs in the test and manifest files should be retrievable web resources
except for those that use domain names with "example"
as the penultimate
component (e.g. http://www.example.org/ontology#prop"
).
The following copyright statement should be included as the first XML comment in every test file:
<!-- Copyright World Wide Web Consortium, (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique, Keio University). All Rights Reserved. Please see the full Copyright clause at <http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/copyright-software.html> $Id: This string is updated by cvs. $ -->
The description should:
The description should be included as the second XML comment in each test file, and be included in the Manifest file.
Tests that relate principally to some owl property or class, should be put in a directory named using the local name of that property of class.
Otherwise, tests that relate to an issue should be put in a directory
named like I3.4
where the issue number is taken from the OWL issue list
[OWL Issues].
Each directory should contain tests numbered consecutively from 001
.
No two tests in a single directory should have the same number.
Each file in a test should have the number of the test at the end of its name, before the suffix.
The rest of the file name should follow the conventions for the test type.
Note: the approved tests in a directory will not necessarily be contiguously numbered.
Note: this differs from the RDF Core test case numbering conventions.
This section repeats the normative tests.
This time the test data is shown in simple triples, using N-triple syntax [RDF Test Cases] with qnames. Qnames are used in place of URIs in the syntax with no delimiters. This syntax conforms with the usage in N3 [N3], the namespace prefices are also declared using N3 syntax [N3].
