[humanmarkup] Econ Conference Example as HumanML Use-Case and AppRequirements

[Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com>]

Hi Susan,

Thanks again for arranging for a teleconference for the Oct. 17, 2001 
Universal Access Workshop, which allowed me to attend. I wanted to 
revisit the example you cited in the course of that workshop, the 
Economics Conference you attended where much time was spent on 
translations that could or should have been spent on the actual 
intended work of the conference and its attendees.

This is a specific example of a potential applications area where 
HumanML needs to ensure that it can be useful. So, in line with our 
decision to solicit information on the requirements of the 
application areas which we wish to serve, I am asking you to consider 
penning a short description of this example which we could cite as a 
use-case where HumanML could serve to improve the performance of such 
work.

If you could do this we would be very grateful, and if you could give 
some thought to what requirements you see that we need to meet in 
order to help build the applications to improve this kind of 
performance, it would help us greatly in our forthcoming work. I 
would like to make a similar request, without the specific use-case, 
of course, of any other government agency or government-related 
recording, reporting or information processing organizations for 
which you can recommend a person to whom I can write.

I believe it is very important for our effort to be grounded by such 
practical, reality-based examples for which we can provide specific 
remedies. Work so grounded stands a much better chance for being 
adopted, don't you think?

Thanks, again and Season's Best Wishes,
Rex Brooks
