SAZ: now that we have EARL Schema more amture and auxiary docs are coming along, time to look back at the guide
MS: Published as a recommendation or tech note?
SAZ: currently on rec-track
... atypical to have such guidance as a rec but has been precedent for this
(e.g. OWL Guide, RDF PRimer)
CV: complementary to EARL Schema so may want same status as rec
JK: how does it compare to other guides or primers?
SAZ: no clear precedent; if docs together (e.g. OWL language and OWL Guide) form a coherent language, should be published in same status
MS: Can we publish as tech note and move to rec later?
SAZ: very difficult in W3C process to change
status
... should try to reuse same examples throughout documents
CV: could also point to full example files
SAZ: OWL Guide uses full-fledgee example with
snipets throughout document pointing to the full file when encessary
... should possibly create directory in CVS for example files
... CVS access is an entirely separate issue
a very nice example, btw
scribe: the OWL Guide winery example
http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-guide/
SAZ: How important is the relationship to IEEE
spec regarding testing?
... how and where does EARL fit in?
... no need for detail of specification
CV: IEEE spec is most generic of testing frameworks that were reviewed
SAZ: didn't develop EARL specifically for IEEE process but IEEE process could be an example of a framework into which EARL fits
MS: do we need the goal of "To explain the
restrictions of the different EARL components." in the GUide?
... may lead to the quagmire introduced in the schema itself and there's no
point in duplicating that work
SAZ: agreed
CV: extending and customization?
SAZ: worth mentioning other documents in section
2, maybe
... move section 3 introductory amterial about other vocabularies to section
2
MS: +1
no way!

SAZ: "should" might be too strong in "should support other RDF serializations"
JK: use "may"
SAZ: leave it as is and see how people react
