Requirements for the Evaluation and Report Language (EARL) 1.0

This document describes the requirements for the scope, design and features of the Evaluation and Report Language (EARL) 1.0. The Evaluation and Report Language 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 will also provide reusable vocabulary for generic Web quality assurance and validation purposes.
