EMMA is published as a Proposed Recommendation

I am pleased to announce that Extensible MultiModal Annotation (EMMA)
was published as a W3C Proposed Recommendation on 15 December.

EMMA is part of a set of specifications for multimodal systems, and 
provides details of an XML markup language for containing and 
annotating the interpretation of user input. The interpretation of 
the user's input is expected to be generated by signal interpretation 
processes, such as speech and ink recognition, semantic interpreters, 
and other types of processors for use by components that act on the 
user's inputs, such as interaction managers. 

The specification is now available as follows.
