Subject: [humanmarkup-comment] Call For Use-Cases
Hi Everyone, I don't want to postpone this message any longer, and I do want to hear something tomorrow in addition to my own plans for responding to this call. For those of you who are not aware of it, Emmanueil (Manos) Batsis has already worked out a toolkit module that makes RDF aware of XML simple types. I will be studying it more closely over the weekend, but what we need to provide for this project are Use-Cases which use measurement_unit as an XML Schema Element. We have already decided that this particular element needs to have the means to be interoperable with existent systems AND a means for using systems that require measurement terms for subjective qualities such as intensities for emotions. These second kinds of systems may be new or may be existent systems that are self-contained, such as the personality types of Enneagrams or Meyers-Briggs classification systems. I know that James is looking into this and Sylvia is also, and, of course so am I. I am hoping that we can discuss this on the email lists as to what specific kinds of use cases we can develop which will demonstrate the usefulness and the pragmatic need for this. I will be working up a use-case scenario for the middleware which will take emotions and kinesics as name-value pairs for specifying bodily gestures and facial gestures (usually called facial expressions, but which i suggest we term gestures for consistency). That will certainly cover one kind of subjective use of measurement_unit. This area will certainly have significant amounts of overlap with Human Physical Characteristics Description ML and VR-AI, from which I suspect Rob will have no shortage of cadidate use-cases. Ranjeeth is on retreat, so he can't pitch in yet, or determine how much time and effort is possible for him, so we won't be seeing use-cases from him for Diplomatic Communications, but others, such as Joseph Norris, who have interests in that area might be willing to take a stab at it. I am fairly sure that James Landrum and Sylvia Candelaria deRam will be also have no shortage of candidate use-cases. However, I would also like our lurkers and all others to give some thought to this. One never knows where excellent concepts will emerge, and the whole area of finding empirical methods to validate our work, or to make it possible to validate our work, and extend the notion developing new kinds of data, especially in the field of pattern recognition, is ripe for exploration.
