[Fwd: Re: overlaps (Was:[humanmarkup-comment] newbie intro)]

[Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com>]

Dear Colleagues:

We received this information this morning on our mailing list. We 
have a subcommittee of the OASIS HumanMarkup Technical Committee 
named The Human Physicl Characteristics Description Markup Language, 
which will be constructed as a subset extension of the Human Markup 
Language. I think we have a definite overlap.

Our OASIS TC website URL is:

http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/humanmarkup

One of the tenets of our effort is that we seek to harmonize our 
vocabularies with existing and planned academic, historical, social, 
commercial and governmental usages, so we definitely want to be 
certain that our efforts do not conflict in terminology and can 
provide for interoperabiity.

I will personally look over your materials and I invite you to do 
likewise with ours. We are open to suggestions about how to proceed.

There are numerous other areas of overlap which we have already 
discovered, or in the case of several of us, we actually became 
involved with the HumanMarkup effort as a result of the overlap with 
the work of the Humanoid Animation Working Group of the Web 3D 
Consortium. We have also established a fairly close association with 
The Center for Human Modeling and Simulation at the University of 
Pennsylvania.

H-Anim  Working Group:

We look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,
Rex Brooks
OASIS HumanMarkup TC Vice Chair, Secretary and Webmaster
