[Provenance-Tech] Comments about the PROV validator

[Daniel Garijo]

Dear PROV validator team.
I have been doing a couple of tests on the tool and here are my comments:

   - I like the interface. It is simple and easy to use.
   - I have tried to upload a ttl file that has some correct provenance
   assertions. But I don't quite understand
   the response I'm obtaining. I get all the boxes in green with the ticks
   as if they were right. Despite the fact of being able to
   click on them, nothing happens. I would like to know what a tick on the
   "Malformed Expressions" mean, or
   what does it mean to have a tick in the "Misleading qualified names"
   (none are being used). Is it good or bad?
   - I get the same response from submitting a complete .ttl file and an
   empty file. Is the service on? (It also happens with
   a file without prov statements)
   - When I click on the PROV link in the response I get a parsing error:

   http://provenance.ecs.soton.ac.uk:7000/prov-vservice-0.1.0/validation/graph2964166829492130347/validation#display-provenance-tab

Suggestions:

   - An explanation as in http://oeg-lia3.dia.fi.upm.es/oops/ would be
   useful: they say a small definition of what they have checked
   and the elements where it's failing. I would recommend that to clarify
   what is being analyzed.
   - The report should be expanded on demand, IMO. It also contains
   information that I cannot navigate, or fthat I can't uderstand, like:
   vsi:e/b06c5824-7273-4c8f-85a5-23950bed205b

Best,

Daniel Garijo
