Great, thanks for sharing this mini implementation, as mentioned we will be starting to collect these for CR stage.


* assertedBy: make sure that dan:dwc is a foaf:Agent (such as foaf:Person) or an earl:Software as described in [1].

Hmm... I believe I am a foaf:Agent; does EARL require that I say so explicitly? In the same file? That's odd. I already say I'm a person elsewhere.

No, if dan:dwc is of type foaf:Person (or any other foaf:Agent subclass) then it conforms to the spec.


The spec seems to say that the range of assertedBy is earl:Assertor; isn't that enough? Hmm... Asserter has "allowable types" SingleAssertor and CompoundAssertor. The prose seems to say that every Asserter is either a SingleAssertor or a CompoundAssertor; you can say that using OWL:

 earl:Asserter owl:unionOf (earl:SingleAssertor earl:CompoundAssertor).

We used owl:oneOf, also for earl:SingleAssertor. I believe effectively it is the same outcome.


In fact, those tables in Appendix B are pretty nice; they're just a few lines of XSLT away from being nice RDFS/OWL schemas. Why are they non-normative?

To avoid having the RDF/XML and the tables be both normative. However, I grant your point and we will re-discuss this issue.


When you say "required properties," do you mean owl:minCardinality 1?

Correct.


Looking at [1], I see
  "An Assertion must have at least the following properties"
that's odd too.

It should mean "An instance of an Assertion class must contain the following properties". Would that be a more precise way to phrase "owl:minCardinality 1" in simple text?
