The OWL Lite Import Test Suite contains ontologies that can be used in evaluations of semantic technologies that require OWL Lite ontologies as input data, such as conformance or interoperability evaluations. Each test in the test suite defines an OWL Lite ontology serialized in an RDF/XML file.

There are two different issues that influence the correct management of an ontology: the first one is which combinations of components of the OWL Lite knowledge model are present in the ontology; the second one is which of the different variants of the RDF/XML syntax are present. Therefore, in order to isolate each of these issues, the tests that depend on the OWL Lite knowledge model and those that depend on the syntax chosen were defined separately.

The OWL Lite Import Test Suite contains 82 tests; detailed descriptions of these tests and a file with all the ontologies to be downloaded can be found in a web page.

The next table shows the 12 test groups of the OWL Lite Import Test Suite and the number of tests in each group.
