Abstract

Web content, including XML and HTML documents on the web, have a strong structure that allows identifying parts of the document in many ways. When wanting to point to a part of a Document, it is useful to be able to make it robust in the face of changes, this is very useful in the context of Evaluation and Report Language (EARL), where the report of many errors would still be valid as other errors are repaired. This document will contain a framework for representing pointers in Resource Description Framework (RDF), and a number of pointers themselves.

Status of this document

This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. Other documents may supersede this document. A list of current W3C publications and the latest revision of this technical report can be found in the W3C technical reports index at http://www.w3.org/TR/.

This an Editor's Draft [W3C First Public Working Draft] of the HTTP Vocabulary in RDF document. It was published on 1 December 2006 by the Evaluation and Repair Tools Working Group (ERT WG). This document is expected to be published as a W3C Working Group Note after review and refinement, potentially upon the next publication.

The working group encourages feedback about the approach, as well as about the completeness and maturity of this document by developers and researchers who have interest in a representation of the HTTP vocabulary in RDF format. Feedback from the W3C Quality Assurance Interest Group (QA IG), the W3C Semantic Web Interest Group (SWIG), and the W3C Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group (BPWG) is particularly welcome. Please send comments on this document to the public mailing list of the working group public-wai-ert@w3.org. The archives of the working group mailing list are publicly available.

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.

This document was produced by a group operating under the 5 February 2004 W3C Patent Policy. The group does not expect this document to become a W3C Recommendation. W3C maintains a public list of any patent disclosures made in connection with the deliverables of the group; that page also includes instructions for disclosing a patent. An individual who has actual knowledge of a patent which the individual believes contains Essential Claim(s) must disclose the information in accordance with section 6 of the W3C Patent Policy.

1. Introduction

This document introduces an RDF vocabulary to enable elements within a document, particularly HTML and XML documents to be pointed to. The document introduces an RDF class and properties, these can be used to point to parts of a document in many ways, using either line and character of the source, or byte offsets, or more complicated pointers defined elsewhere such as XPointer, or CSS Selectors.

1.1. Namespace

The RDF representation of the Pointer vocabulary defined by this document uses the namespace http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/EARL/pointers#

1.2. Use Cases

The following (non-exhaustive) list of use cases aims to highlight some of the different usages of this vocabulary:

Reporting Test Failure Locations: When Web resources are tested, for example for accessibility or other quality assurance testing, it is important to identify where in the document failures occur, to enable fixing. RDF reporting languages like [EARL] can use this vocabulary to record the locations within the document.
Identifying Interesting parts of large documents.: Web resources are often long documents, and the interesting part is only a small part of it, being able to point to fragments of the document allows you to more specifically identify the relevant interesting part of the document.
Web Content Templates: When editing Web Resources, templates are often used to be filled out by a different author to the template, the RDF vocabulary can be used to assist in this process by labelling the elements and fragments that need to be filled out with different content.

Pointers

This section defines RDF the generic Pointer and PointerCollection classes.

2.1. Pointer Class

The Pointer class represents a pointer to some part of the document or web resource, it is a generic class, generally subClassed to be more specific.

2.2. PointerCollection Class

The PointerCollection class is a collection of pointers, all pointing to the same thing in the document, within the limits of the individual pointers.

The PointerCollection has many properties, in this document we define the following, but others appropriate to specific uses could be used:

pointer:xpointer representing an XPointer [] to some part of an XML document, the XPointer is represented as an XML String.
pointer:htmlpointer representing an HTML Pointer to some part of an HTML document, an HTML Pointer is similar in syntax to an XPointer, however it works over HTML documents, the HTML Pointer is represented as an XML String.
pointer:linecharlength representing a line, a character and length to denote the range, the range of this property is the LineCharLengthPointer Class.
pointer:xpath representing an XPath expression identifying part of a document, the range of the property is an XPathPointer class.
pointer:charsnippet representing a character snippet from the document, and an offset into it, the range is a CharSnippetPointer.
pointer:bytesnippet representing a byte-based snippet from the document, and an offset into it, the range is a ByteSnippetPointer.
pointer:selector representing a CSS Selector to the content, the range is a string.

2.3. LineCharLengthPointer Class

Line/character and optionally the length of a region within the Test Subject.

It has the following properties:

pointer:line representing the line in the document, this must be present.
pointer:char representing the character in the line identified by pointer:line, this must be present.
pointer:length representing the length of the region, this is optional

2.4. XPathPointer Class

A Pointer representing an XPath location into a document

It has the following properties:

pointer:expression representing the XPath Expression, this must be present.
pointer:namespace representing a Namespace used in the XPath Expression, it's range is the pointer:Namespace Class.

2.4.1. Namespace Class

A Namespace used in the XPath expression

It has the following properties:

pointer:prefix representing the prefix used for the namespace in the XPath expression.
pointer:namespaceURI A namespace URI matching the prefix.

2.5. CharSnippetPointer Class

A Pointer representing a character snippet and a location within it from the original document.

It has the following properties:

pointer:charContent The character content from the original document.
pointer:charOffset The character offset within the snippet that is being identified.

2.6. ByteSnippetPointer Class

A Base64 encoded snippet from the original resource, and an offset within that, like the CharSnippetPointer Class but useful for byte based content, rather than character based..

It has the following properties:

pointer:byteContent The byte content from the original document, a base64 encoded string.
pointer:byteOffset The byte offset within the snippet that is being identified.
