Subject: Call for Review: Evaluation and Report Language (EARL) 1.0
Schema Working Draft
Dear WAI Interest Group Participants,
An updated Working Draft of Evaluation and Report Language 1.0 Schema
(EARL 1.0 Schema) was published on 27 September, 2006. The Evaluation
and Repair Tools Working Group (ERT WG) [1] invites you to comment on
this document:
<http://www.w3.org/TR/EARL10-Schema/>
The Evaluation and Report Language (EARL) is a standardized format to
express test results. The primary motivation for developing this
language is to facilitate the exchange of test results between Web
accessibility evaluation tools in a vendor neutral and platform
independent format. It also provides reusable vocabulary for generic
Web quality assurance and validation purposes. An overview of EARL is
available for more background:
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/earl.php>
This document, EARL 1.0 Schema, defines a set of vocabulary to
express test results. It meets the requirements specified in the
Requirements for the Evaluation and Report Language 1.0 [2], and
incorporates change requests received since the 9 September 2005
Working Draft [3]. While this document focuses on the technical
details of the specification, a companion document, EARL 1.0 Guide
will describe the motivations for EARL and provide a tutorial
introduction to its use. The document How WAI Develops Accessibility
Guidelines through the W3C Process describes the milestones and
opportunities to contribute to W3C Working Drafts:
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/w3c-process>
The Evaluation and Repair Tools Working Group (ERT WG) encourages
feedback about this document, EARL 1.0 Schema, by Web developers and
researchers who have interest in software-supported evaluation and
validation of Web sites. In particular, the group is looking for
feedback about how complete the schema is, and how compatible it is
with relevant metadata vocabularies in this field. Specific questions
are also highlighted within the sections of the document. Please send
comments to the (publicly visible) ERT WG mailing list by 25 October,
2006:
<public-wai-ert@xxxxxx>
Please let us know if you have any questions. Additional information
on the ERT Working Group is available at:

Note: This message may be circulated to other lists, avoiding cross-
postings where possible.
Thank you in advance for your comments.
