EmotionML 1.0: First Public Working Draft published

The World Wide Web consortium (W3C) has published a
"First Public Working Draft" specification of the
"Emotion Markup Language (EmotionML) 1.0":

http://www.w3.org/TR/emotionml/

Over the next months, this specification is expected to mature and
eventually to become a "web standard" for representing emotions and
related states in technological systems.


The community at large is invited to review the draft and to provide
feedback and comments to the following public mailing list:

Abstract:

As the web is becoming ubiquitous, interactive, and multimodal,
technology needs to deal increasingly with human factors, including
emotions. The present draft specification of Emotion Markup Language 1.0
aims to strike a balance between practical applicability and scientific
well-foundedness. The language is conceived as a "plug-in" language
suitable for use in three different areas: (1) manual annotation of
data; (2) automatic recognition of emotion-related states from user
behavior; and (3) generation of emotion-related system behavior.
