specifications to enable access to the Web using multimodal

multimodal systems, and provides details of an XML markup language
for containing and annotating the interpretation of user input.
Examples of interpretation of user input are a transcription into
words of a raw signal, for instance derived from speech, pen or
keystroke input, a set of attribute/value pairs describing their
meaning, or a set of attribute/value pairs describing a gesture.
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.</p>

                        <p>The Multimodal Interaction Framework separates multimodal
systems into a set of functional units, including Input and Output
components, an Interaction Mananger, Session Components, System and
Environment, and Application Functions. In order for those
functional components to interact with each other to form an
application interpreter, the browser implementation must allow for
communication and coordination between those components. This DOM
interface identifies the DOM APIs used to communicate and
coordinate at the browser implemention level. Multimodal browsers
can be stand-alone or distributed systems.</p>

Framework, and identifies the major components for multimodal
systems. Each component represents a set of related functions. The
framework identifies the markup languages used to describe
information required by components and for data flowing among
components. The W3C Multimodal Interaction Framework describes
input and output modes widely used today and can be extended to
include additional modes of user input and output as they become
available.</p>

MultiModal Annotation language (EMMA) specification under
development in the W3C Multimodal Interaction
Activity. EMMA is intended as a data format for the interface
between input processors and interaction management systems. It will
define the means for recognizers to annotate application specific
data with information such as confidence scores, time stamps, input
mode (e.g.  key strokes, speech or pen), alternative recognition
hypotheses, and partial recognition results, etc. EMMA is a target
data format for the semantic interpretation specification being
developed in the Voice Browser Activity, and
which describes annotations to speech grammars for extracting
application specific data as a result of speech recognition. EMMA
supercedes earlier work on the natural language semantics markup
language in the Voice Browser Activity.</p>

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 basis
in science. 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.

This document represents a public collection of emotion vocabularies

draft of the EmotionML specification, but was moved out of it so that
we can easily update, extend and correct the list of vocabularies as
required.
