This README is for the W3C RDF Working Group's TriG test suite.
This test suite contains three kinds of tests:

  Evaluation (rdft:TestTriGEval) - a pair of an input trig file
  and referenced nquads file.

  Positive syntax (rdft:TestTriGPositiveSyntax) - an input trig
  file with no syntax errors.

  Negative syntax (rdft:TestTriGNegativeSyntax) - an input trig
  file with at least one syntax error.

The manifest.ttl file in this directory lists all of the tests in the
RDF WG's TriG test suite. Each test is one of the above tests. All
tests have a name (mf:name) and an input (mf:action). The Evaluation
tests have an expected result (mf:result).

• An implementation passes an Evaluation test if it parses the input
  into a dataset, parses the expected result into another dataset, and
  those two dataset are isomorphic (see
  <https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#dfn-dataset-isomorphism>).

• An implementation passes a positive syntax test if it parses the
  input.

• An implementation passes a negative syntax test if it fails to parse
  the input.

The home of the test suite is <http://www.w3.org/2013/TriGTests/>.
Per RFC 3986 section 5.1.3, the base IRI for parsing each file is the
retrieval IRI for that file. For example, the tests trig-subm-01 and
trig-subm-27 require relative IRI resolution against a base of
<http://www.w3.org/2013/TriGTests/trig-subm-01.trig> and
<http://www.w3.org/2013/TriGTests/trig-subm-27.trig> respectively.
