1 year ago The @subject is not used for validation, merely for calculating the location in the SVRL, e.g., so that the location better corresponds with the text of the assertion.
But it can be cleared up. The intent is
1) If a rule has no @subject, the @context is its subject (provided in its SVRL location) 2) If an assertion has no @subject, the subject of its parent rule is its subject (provided in its SVRL location)
The purpose is to decouple somewhat the implementation XPaths, the modeling pragmatics of which assertions are grouped into which rules, the text of the assertions, and the location information reported in the SVRL.
