Terminology and RDF Schema for Test metadata Re: WAI Testing Minutes

Hi Michael and others,

First of all, sorry to not have been available during your meeting. I =20=

was on holidays.

Le 31 janv. 2007 =E0 00:02, Michael Cooper a =E9crit :
> Minutes of the WAI Testing meeting held 24 January 2007 are =20
> available at http://www.w3.org/2007/01/24-wai-testing-minutes.

Reading the minutes, I see
[[[
RESOLUTION: terminology needs to be consistant and clear.
<jallan> need to use existing definitions when available
]]]

It might help this group. The QA WG before closing released "Test =20
Metadata"[1] W3C Working Group Note, it might still needs =20
clarification, Patrick Curran (Sun) was working on it and maybe Lynne =20=

Rosenthal (NIST) too. "Test Metadata" Note "defines a minimal set of =20
metadata elements that can usefully be applied to tests that are =20
intended for publication within a test suite."

We didn't create a specific language for handling test cases because =20
WGs seem to have different habits for describing and collecting their =20=

test (XHTML, RDF, etc.) But as you can see in Test Case Metadata[2], =20
Dom[3] has created an [RDF Schema for Test Metadata][4][5]. On the =20
wiki, you will find also a list of previous projects by different =20
groups.
