>Hi Ian,
>
>I am co-chair of the OASIS Humanmarkup Technical Committee, and I 
>received a message from our OASIS adminstrative contact today asking 
>me whether I had heard of this new W3C activity. So I have accessed 
>the page at http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/emotion/charter
>
>Our charter can be accessed at 
>http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/humanmarkup/charter.php
>
>The Statement of Purpose is accurate, but the humanmarkup.org 
>website is currently in hiatus due to difficulties with the domain 
>name and list of deliverables is out of date.
>
>In our initial draft of a primary base specification of the Human 
>Markup Language in OASIS, we included an enumeration of the six 
>basic simpleTypes of Joy, Sorrow (Sadness), Anger, Disgust, Surprise 
>and Fear of the complexType Element Emotion,  but have since removed 
>the enumeration in favor of making the primary base language solely 
>a collection of categories of human traits and characteristics. We 
>are finishing a revision of the primary base schema so that it will 
>consist of both and XML Schema as well as an RDF Schema and and OWL 
>specification, providing a unified foundation on which or within 
>which all types of human-related information can be included in a 
>way that will provide a central access point from which to discover 
>the most accurate IT standard to use in relation to the various 
>domains of human activities.
>
>I will be exploring the Emotion IG site further and would like to 
>correspond with you to ensure the compatibility of our efforts.

>Regards,

>P.S. I include the long, alternate form of my signature to give you 
>an idea of the scope of my interests.
