[...] Please note that the W3C WAI ERT Working Group have been developing a language/framework for making evaluations (which includes conformance claims) for quite some time now, called "EARL" or the "Evaluation And Report Language" [1]. The language is being developed with the Semantic Web and QA domains heavily in mind, and at the recent F2F we discussed that QA may be an appropriate venue to host EARL development (rather: implementation) once ERT gets dissolved. [[[ ERT WG takes 3-6 months to finish developing support materials for and implementations of EARL. The primary future consumer and promoter of EARL after the 3-6 months would be the QA activity. PF might have a hand in this as well. ]]] - [2] We also discussed starting work on a Test Point Definition Language (TPDL), although this is just a sketchy idea for now.
