The RDF(S) Import Test Suite contains ontologies that can be used in evaluations of semantic technologies that require RDF(S) ontologies as input data, such as conformance or interoperability evaluations. Each test in the test suite defines an RDF(S) 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 RDF(S) 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 RDF(S) knowledge model and those that depend on the RDF(S) syntax chosen were defined separately.

The RDF(S) 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 10 test groups of the RDF(S) Import Test Suite, the number of tests in each group, and the RDF(S) components used in each group.
