The initial aim of this was to counter an apparently arbitrary repository ranking algorithm (which I won't deign link to) with a set of web standards that we (repository developers and maintainers) can collectively work towards, with an emphasis on breadth of different standards that could be applied.

I've greyed out the 'everything' requirement, since I'm not sure that 'everything' is script-testable.

I've grey'ed out the content negotiation requirements since I'm not aware that any repositories or prototypes that try and do this (I'm happy to be corrected).

I've found a better URL for the RDFa requirement.

Stuart is trying to make a doc for rating repositories.

I’ve added some stuff about Linked Data:
 From http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData.html (Linked Data Principles)
        Everything has a URI - publications, documents, people, organisations, 
categories, ...
        These URIs are HTTP or HTTPS
        When RDF is requested, the URIs return RDF metadata
                RDF/XML supported
                N3 supported
                Turtle supported
                JSON-LD supported
        There are URIs that are not from this repository
        There are URIs from other repositories
        There is a SPARQL endpoint
        RDFa is embedded in the HTML

Is there somewhere I could have taken this from that would be suitable?
Anyone care to contribute?
It seems like it is a really useful thing to have (modulo a bit of 
specialisation for any particular domain).
(I didn’t want to go over the top on formats, by the way.)
Cheers

I notice there is nothing about Linked Data and Semantic Web - would it be 
sensible to have something on this?

If there's something that's recommended by some standard / recommendation and 
is script-testable, you're welcome to add it.

So for example does it provide RDF at all?

It has a question based on  http://validator.w3.org/feed/  which validates RSS, 
which in turn is either RDF (v1.0) or can trivially be converted to it 
(v2.0/atom). I've added a note that this is RSS.

Very interesting (and impressive!)

Well, actually there is Semantic Web:- right up at the start there is a Cool URI 
reference, which is the the W3C "Cool URIs for the Semantic Web” note!

Perhaps there should be a section on this - maybe starting with with whether it 
is 5* Linked Data.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linked_data
http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData.html

But it probably useful to unpick some of this in a less structured way.
So for example does it provide RDF at all?
Formats? RDF, N3, JSON-LD…

Best
Hugh

A couple of us have drawn up a bit of a list of script-testable properties of 
repositories that could be used to rate them. We’re tried to both avoid 
arbitrary judgements and the implication that every repository should meet 
every item:
