RE: [humanmarkup-comment] HMU.newmedia: Emotion

["Bullard, Claude L (Len)" <clbullar@ingr.com>]

I am aware.  That is in the codelists.  These are 
organized under abstract types to enable event 
routing to proceed by application type.  So far 
I don't think I am contradicting the original 
models using an S/R paradigm.

However, as we continue to layer in more systems 
with diverse requirements, we are not necessarily 
adding new requirements.  We are testing the old 
ones.   We should be creating 
use cases to determine when the schema needs new 
types.  For example, markup that organizes a 
process is applicable only to applications that 
view and process events as inputs, outputs, 
controls and mechanisms.  To simulate chronemic 
properties, we have to add time, and so forth. 
In VRML, this is easy.  In HTML, it's a little 
less easy (HTML + Time, a subset of SMIL2).

So take a use case and see if it can be first 
organized by the current schema, then ask what else 
is needed if we can't.  Try what the author suggests 
for the process model.  

I think first we discover that without 
a basic, easy to use process model, we don't have a 
means to show a single human object emoting in a 
much less two objects with a context of communication.  
One could easily do that with a HumanML aware VRML 
object as long as it has a proto with a script 
node for dispatching events to the VRML nodes 
upon receipt of an event from an XML processor 
through the SAI/EAI.  

Take a simple case:  a sphere that color cycles 
given HumanML selects and external events.

I have to study this further, but, just a reminder: we are building a 
markup language that needs to account for use in scene graphs, and 
plain text, and messaging, and voiceXML, if possible, as well as a 
host of other applications. How we embed, or encode emotion is one of 
our tasks.

It is important to keep the requirements of the applications/uses in 
mind as we develop the tags, the schemata, the document models, the 
scene graph models, the streaming models/protocols, the adaptations 
of artificial intelligence which use chaos and game theory, the 
psychological models which are informed by that set of schools of 
thought, and of course, informing us overall, semiotics.
