AGENDA
======

For the phone meeting on 12 February 2007.


1. Review the minutes of previous meeting.

http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/emotion/minutes-2007-01-15.html

In particular, we had a relatively long list of action items, and not 
all of it has happened.


2. Continued discussion on requirements document.

http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/emotion/wiki/UseCasesRequirements

As you know, we have gone through that document up to the end of section 
2 in the last phone meeting, so we will continue with point 3 "Links to 
signals and signs" and will try to finish this first walk through the 
document.

As last time, results of this initial discussion should be twofold: 
notes on agreement, as in "requirement 1.1 is agreed", and in action 
items, where individuals commit to attempting to clarify an unclear 
issue. The resulting action items should be many, of the type "person X 
to clarify meaning of point Y".

The main goal should be to prepare part of the discussion to be held at 
the face-to-face meeting in Munich, by making it as explicit as possible 
which issues are clear/agreed and which are unclear/need discussion.


3. Preparation for discussing specification possibilities

One thing that we should do in Munich is start discussing 
specifications. In preparation for that, we should collect existing 
specifications that we can start from. Of course there is the HUMAINE 
EARL, there is the HUMAINE database annotation scheme, and maybe others. 
Let us list them! Ideally, for each of them, we would find a volunteer 
who looks through the existing specification and shows how it fits / 
doesn't fit the various use case requirements.

Also, there are some basic design principles among which a standard 
format will have to choose. Human-readable XML ("simple is beautiful"); 
hierarchical XML ("structure is needed to make it precise"); RDF 
("Ontologies are the solution"), etc. It would be nice to have 
proponents for the different design principles, and have them engage in 
a friendly discussion! I will ask for volunteers for this as well.



4. Date of next meeting

If we get through this agenda reasonably (getting reliable commitments 
to drive the discussion forward off-line), we should not need an 
additional phone meeting before the f2f (26-27 March, Munich).


Best wishes,
Marc
