Es gibt nichts, was man nicht standardisieren, katalogisieren oder beschreiben kann. Das W3C ist sich dieser Tatsache bewusst und hat am 29. Juli den Working Draft der Emotion Markup Language (EmotionML) veröffentlicht.
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.
