Re: Emotion Markup Language (EmotionML) 1.0 is a Proposed Recommendation

Hi Felix,
thanks for your answer. I realized I was not 100% correct about my
comments, for instance, the number of <info> in assertion 105 is indeed
checked in the schema, so does <trace>, I think I read the schema too
quickly. The comment about the "required" status in assertion 105, that is
wrt the number of <info> elements may still hold: it maybe should be stated
"The <emotionml> element MUST contain one or zero <info> element".

I will send an updated list of comments once I publish the implementation
because I have found other issues (most of them are minor discrepancies
between the specification, the assertions and the schema). I will also add
the implementation description when it's done. Few words about it: it's a
pure Java implementation developed in the context of the ITEA Empathic
Products project. I'm working at the LORIA laboratory in Nancy, France. The
idea is to propose a convenient implementation of EmotionML whose
conformance to the standard is emphasized by a two steps validation, a
schema validation and an assertional validation. Since the schema is not
able to test all assertions, I've written a custom validator that checks
all the assertions listed in the implementation report. To double check the
implementation, I've manually designed a corpus of erroneous EmotionML
files (one per assertion) that have to be invalidated by the validator. I'm
still in the process of putting everything together, adding missing
assertions, double checking the code, etc. I miss two features right now,
mime-type checking and id unicity. It's possible that I may release the
implementation by the end of the week, under an open source license,

best regards,
Alexandre
