Subject: [humanmarkup] I got the message so Disregard Transient Bounce Was Re:Fwd: Warning: could not send message for past 4 hours
Dear Rex,
Here is the proposal I submitted to Ranjit and wasn't sure on time lines, as timelines depend a lot on workforce we have to move this forward and I see only you interested. In any case here is the draft of the proposal.
Purpose: Develop, design and provide specifications for Physical Markup Language. Much as the Markup Languages has standardized the way in which information is presented on the Internet, PML will be designed to standardize description of physical characteristics of humans. PML is a subset of HumanML and through markup language concept provides communication medium for end users and software community to exchange information. Primary objective is to provide a common medium specification for software to communicate physical characteristics. Goal here is enhance, unify, and provide a uniform common language for exchange of physical characteristics of humans, both visible and invisible, which help us identify them uniquely.
Scope: As uniquely identified by the goals of HumanML and PML (a sub set of HumanML) are almost same with exception of the fact that PMLís primary focus is on Physical Human Characteristics both visible and invisible, often missed or overlooked. Within the scope of this will include markup definition for taxonomy of characteristics, specifications, ontologyís and APIís (?) to implement them.
Examples: Some examples of PML are color of hair and eyes, types of eyes, nature of forehead (low, narrow, high, broad), eyebrows (thin, thick, connected, broken, etc.), Cheekbones, mouth, facial form, chin etc. Each physically visible feature has types associated with each and each type has specific characteristics.
End---
I am still to make sure that if I provide any deadlines, they are met and respected. I don't intend to just dump some deadlines and then not be able to meet them. I am looking at May2002 to complete the "Human Physical Characteristic Markup Language" if anybody has any ideas or other dates, I would love to see them.
Start official discussions & work 01 November 2001
Schema -- 31st Dec 2001
Basic Vocabulary -- 31st Dec 2001
Advanced Vocabulary -- 31st March
Do some presentations & educations to government bodies, UN, DoD etc regarding benefits & use of HPCML. -- Ongoing
Set of first draft of draft of API's -- 1st June 2002
More will come!
Concerns: One of my major concerns is getting it out to people in outside world, about its significance, use and benefits. How to go about doing that?
Rex, let chat about it when we get time.
Regards,
Sudhakar Gorti
