Abstract

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. Conformance for OWL documents and OWL document checkers is specified.

Status of this document

This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. ther documents may supersede this document. The latest status of this document series is maintained at the W3C.

This is the Last Call Working Draft of "OWL Test Cases" for review by members of the W3C and other interested parties in the general public. The Last Call review is intended primarily to review the text of this document. The tests are still in development and are being changed during the last call review period, up to the publication of the corresponding Proposed Recommendation. Each test may be edited or have a change of status according to the process specified below. Further tests are being added. An editors' version of this document, with the latest tests, can be found at http://www.w3.org/2002/03owlt/editors-draft/snapshot. Other resulting changes expected before Proposed Recommendation are indicated by editors' notes. Despite this flux, the working group would value implementor feedback on the tests both in this document and those found in the editors' version. The Last Call review period ends 07 March 2003.

This document is subsidiary to the normative definition of the Web Ontology Language [OWL Abstract Syntax and Semantics]).

Publication as a Working Draft does not imply endorsement by the W3C Membership. This is a draft document and may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to cite this document 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.

Patent disclosures relevant to this specification may be found on the Working Group's public patent disclosure page.

Comments on this document should be sent to public-webont-comments@w3.org, a mailing list with a public archive. General discussion of related technology is welcome in www-rdf-logic@w3.org (archive).

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.


Table of Contents


1. Introduction

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 normative definition of OWL found in [OWL Abstract Syntax and 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.

1.1. Conformance and Scope

Various conformance levels are defined in this document in terms of [OWL Abstract Syntax and Semantics].

However, the test cases do not constitute a conformance test suite for OWL.

The tests illustrate issue resolutions, and illustrate the use and meaning of the terms in the OWL namespace.

There are other miscellaneous tests: some arising in the literature, and in preexisting systems; others intending to show the difficulty of complete implementations of OWL Full.

2. Deliverables (Normative)

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 need index files for the web site that clarify which parts are part of the deliverable and which are not?]]

2.1. Normative Status

Of the deliverables the only normative tests are those included in this document. All other deliverables, are informative. Moreover, the recommendation document is informative except for the conformance statements, the test data (specified in RDF/XML [RDF/XML Syntax]), and the supporting documentation.

2.2. Conflict Resolution

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 Proposed Recommendation then:

  1. The conflict is reported to public-webont-comments@w3.org.
  2. The working group makes appropriate modifications to remove the conflict.

If the OWL recommendation has passed Proposed Recommendation then:

  1. The conflict is reported to public-webont-comments@w3.org.
  2. The working group, or its successors, considers the conflict.

    While this happens the other recommendation documents take precedence over the test case.
  1. If there is working group consensus to retain the test case as normative and to publish an erratum against the other recommendation document(s) then this is done.
  2. Otherwise an erratum is published which deletes the test case.

Note: this last step does not require consensus, or even a majority.

Note: the errata process over the tests is monotonic decreasing; i.e. after Proposed Recommendation, any system that passes all the test cases will necessarily pass all the test case with errata.

3. Test Types (Normative)

Each test consists of either one or more 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 or more documents indicate a relationship between the two documents when viewed as OWL knowledge bases.

The Manifest file is named ManifestNNN.rdf (The NNN is replaced by the test number). It contains metadata (in RDF) indicating the test type, and describing the test.

3.1. Tests for Incorrect Use of OWL Namespace

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.

3.2. Entailment Tests

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 semantics [OWL Abstract Syntax and Semantics], (see also OWL Full entailment).

3.3. Non-Entailment Tests

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 semantics [OWL Abstract Syntax and Semantics], (see also OWL Full entailment).

3.4. True Tests

These tests use one document. It is named conclusionsNNN.rdf. The conclusions follow from the OWL semantics [OWL Abstract Syntax and Semantics]. These tests are a special case of the entailment tests in which the premises are empty.

3.5. OWL for OWL

These tests use one document. It is named conclusionsNNN.rdf. These are a special case of true tests. The conclusions follow from the OWL Full semantics [OWL Abstract Syntax and Semantics]. The tests are intended to illustrate how OWL Full can be used to describe its own properties and classes.

3.6. Consistency Tests

These tests use one document. It is named consistentNNN.rdf. The document is consistent as defined by the OWL Semantics [OWL Abstract Syntax and Semantics], (see also OWL Full consistency).

3.7. Inconsistency Tests

These tests use one document. It is named inconsistentNNN.rdf. The document is not consistent as defined by the OWL semantics [OWL Abstract Syntax and Semantics], (see also OWL Full consistency).

3.8. Import Entailment Tests

These tests use more than two documents. One is named premisesNNN.rdf, another is named conclusionsNNN.rdf, the rest have names beginning supportNNN.rdf. The support documents are in the imports closure of the premises document. The conclusions are entailed by the imports closure of the premises. Such entailment is defined by the OWL semantics [OWL Abstract Syntax and Semantics], (see also OWL Full entailment).

3.9. Import Level Tests

These tests use two documents. One is named importsNNN.rdf, the other is named mainNNN.rdf. These tests indicate the interaction between owl:imports and the sublanguage levels of the main document.

4. Conformance (Normative)

4.1. Document Conformance

4.1.1. Syntactic Conformance

An OWL Full document is an RDF/XML document [RDF/XML Syntax], for which the corresponding RDF graph [RDF Concepts] does not use any URI references starting with the prefix http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl# except those found in the [RDF Schema for OWL].

An OWL DL document is an OWL Full document such that the imports closure [OWL Abstract Syntax and Semantics] of the corresponding RDF graph [RDF Concepts] is an OWL DL ontology in RDF graph form.

An OWL Lite document is an OWL Full document such that the imports closure [OWL Abstract Syntax and Semantics] of the corresponding RDF graph [RDF Concepts] is an OWL Lite ontology in RDF graph form.

4.1.2. Semantic Conformance

A consistent OWL document is an OWL Full document for which the corresponding RDF graph [RDF Concepts] is consistent according to the [OWL Abstract Syntax and Semantics].

4.2. Software Conformance

This section uses the words MUST, MUST NOT, SHOULD and MAY as in [RFC 2119].

4.2.1. Syntax Checker

An OWL syntax checker takes a document as input, and outputs one word being one of Lite, DL, Full, Other.

The output MUST conform with the following:

Lite
The input document is an OWL Lite document.
DL
The input document is an OWL DL document but not an OWL Lite document.
Full
The input document is an OWL Full document but not an OWL DL document.
Other
The input document is not an OWL Full document.

An OWL syntax checker SHOULD report network errors occurring during the computation of the imports closure.

4.2.2. Consistency Checker

An OWL consistency checker takes a document as input, and outputs one word being Consistent, Inconsistent, or Unknown.

Five different conformance classes of OWL consistency checker are defined.

An OWL consistency checker MUST NOT output Consistent unless the input document is a consistent OWL document.

An OWL consistency checker MUST NOT output Inconsistent unless the input document is not a consistent OWL document.

An OWL consistency checker SHOULD report network errors occurring during the computation of the imports closure.

An OWL Lite consistency checker is an OWL consistency checker that takes an OWL Lite document as input.

An OWL DL consistency checker is an OWL consistency checker that takes an OWL DL document as input.

An OWL Full consistency checker is an OWL consistency checker that takes an OWL Full document as input.

Note: Every OWL Full consistency checker is also an OWL DL consistency checker. Every OWL DL consistency checker is also an OWL Lite consistency checker. Every OWL Lite consistency checker can be trivially transformed into an OWL Full consistency checker.

The different levels are intended to be used to indicate the intended domain of a consistency checker.

Note: there are trivial implementations of these consistency checkers; for example, one which always outputs Unknown.

A complete OWL Lite consistency checker is an OWL consistency checker that takes an OWL Lite document as input, and is logically complete with respect to [OWL Abstract Syntax and Semantics] over the set of all OWL Lite documents.

A complete OWL DL consistency checker is an OWL consistency checker that takes an OWL DL document as input, and is logically complete with respect to [OWL Abstract Syntax and Semantics] over the set of all OWL DL documents.

Note: Complete OWL DL consistency checkers and Complete OWL Lite consistency checkers MAY return Unknown on an OWL DL document or OWL Lite document in the case where a resource limit has been exceeded.

5. Testing an OWL Implementation (Informative)

[WG note: The use of must, should etc. is consistent with [RFC 2119], but since this section is informative I have not imported the definitions.]

5.1. OWL Syntax Checkers

An OWL syntax checker when presented with any of the test files must return the indicated result.

5.2. OWL Consistency Checker

An OWL Lite consistency checker, when presented with a file from an OWL Lite consistency test, must output Consistent or Unknown.

An OWL DL consistency checker, when presented with a file from an OWL DL or OWL Lite consistency test, must output Consistent or Unknown.

An OWL Full consistency checker, when presented with a file from an OWL Full, OWL DL or OWL Lite consistency test, must output Consistent or Unknown.

The corresponding inconsistency tests must result in output of Inconsistent or Unknown.

A complete OWL Lite consistency checker or a complete OWL DL consistency checker should not return Unknown on the relevant consistency or inconsistency tests.

Many of the non-entailment tests can be converted into consistency tests by negating the conclusions. Many of the entailment tests can be converted into inconsistency tests by negating the conclusions. When this process is applied to an OWL Lite entailment or non-entailment, the resulting consistent or inconsistent document is usually an OWL DL document.

6. Manifest Files (Informative)

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
A test for the incorrect us of OWL namespace.
otest:PositiveEntailmentTest
An entailment test.
otest:NegativeEntailmentTest
A non-entailment test.
otest:TrueTest
A true test.
otest:OWLforOWL
An OWL for OWL test.
otest:ConsistencyTest
A consistency test.
otest:InconsistencyTest
An inconsistency test.
otest:ImportEntailmentTest
An import entailment test.
otest:ImportLevelTest
An import level test.

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. The support files for import entailment tests and import level tests are found as the values of otest:importedPremiseDocument.

The conformance level associated with both files and tests are given with the otest:level property. The value for each document and test is one of otest:Full, otest:DL, otest:Lite or otest:Other (documents only).

7. The OWL Tests (Normative)

7.1. By Function

7.2. By Issue

7.3. Additional Description Logic Tests

These tests are ones that are either known from the literature (specifically from [DL ref-1] and [DL ref-2]), or from test suites contributed by DL implementors (specifically some group and some other group).

Some actual tests in this category ...

7.4. Miscellaneous Tests

These tests, taken from the [OWL Guide] are ones that do not fit any other category.

wine.owl, and food.owl by reference rather than verbatim ...

7.5. Extra Credit (Informative)

There is no expectation that any implementation will successful run the tests in this section; any that do gain extra credit.

The intent is to illustrate the semantics of OWL, particularly OWL Full, as specified by [OWL Abstract Syntax and Semantics], with the specific goal of showing that it is possible to say things that it is not reasonable to expect an implementation to completely understand.

Some actual tests in this category ... Tests concerning prime factorization. tests concerning dominos and transitiveproperties with cardinality constraints. Tests concerning peculiar extensions of the OWL vocabulary.

A. Test Creation, Approval and Modification

A.1. Creation

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:

A.2. Approval

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.

Tests are approved by working group decision.

The working group may take account of favourable review of the tests and/or implementation reports, as well as other factors.

Many of the tests are proposed by Carroll and verified by De Roo's implementation.

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.

A.3. Modification

The editors may make editorial changes to approved and proposed tests. This includes:

B. Stylistic Preferences

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 group consensus if they follow these rules.

B.1. Use of RDF/XML

Tests should normally be expressed in RDF/XML.

The following RDF/XML grammar rules [RDF/XML Syntax] are not used:

  1. Property attributes.
  2. Bag ID.
  3. rdf:parseType="Resource".

B.2. Use of 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.

B.3. Use of .rdf Suffix

Test and manifest files should use the ".rdf" suffix. URIs should not. The URL used for xml:base declarations does not have a suffix.

B.4. Use of 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").

B.5. Copyright

The following copyright statement should be included as an XML comment in every test file:



<!--
  Copyright World Wide Web Consortium, (Massachusetts Institute of
  Technology, European Research Consortium for Informatics and 
  Mathematics, 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. $
-->

B.6. Description

The description should:

The description should be included as an XML comment in each test file, and be included as RDF content in the Manifest file.

B.7. Directory Structure

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].

B.8. Test Numbering

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.

C. The Tests as Triples (Informative)

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 prefixes are also declared using N3 syntax [N3].

Relative URLs in the triples are with respect to the following base: http://www.w3.org/2002/03owlt/.

The following namespace prefixes are used throughout:
