RE: HML in applications

As Sean said, HumanML.  Just to keep us less quirky!

One can do that because HumanML doesn't care how one 
applies the types.  So a service could provide a means 
to profile sites.  It's a bit anthropomorphic but so 
are artificial negotiating agents.  For a human 
observer, one can map to other symbols. Say one took the 
HumanML bases types and created a set of icons for 
these (what smileys are) and sent that back as a 
response.  (talk about old ideas from the vrml list; 
michael hippolyte would be so proud).

The one for 404 (lost in hyperspace) would be hilarious.

Subject: HML in applications


has there been any talk of HML being employed in areas that aren't directly
shown to a user?

I was thinking that quite a lot of the HML ideas could be application to
appliction service communication.

For example, one service broker could indicate to service requesters the
relative "happiness" of the sites it may call. This could be used for sites
under stress or low n capacity. Even cultural aspects could be potentially
itntroduced, such as "i [the service] am in the US and as it is 9AM, i am
under serious stress".

There are quite a few areas that i oculd see this working, but maybe i'm
getting out of scope !?
