http://www.w3.org/2002/mmi/Group/emotionml/#ISSUE-105
How to define the actual vocabularies to use for <category>, <dimensions>, <appraisals> and <action-tendencies> remains to be specified. As described in Considerations regarding the validation of EmotionML documents, a suitable method may be to define an XML format in which these sets can be defined. The format for defining a vocabulary MUST fulfill at least the following requirements:

* it MUST be possible to refer to a vocabulary, e.g. by means of a URI;
* the vocabulary MUST state explicitly whether it represents category names, dimension elements, appraisal elements or action tendency elements;
* the use of the vocabulary MUST only be possible for the intended type of use (e.g., it MUST NOT be possible to use category names as dimension elements);
* for dimension, appraisal and action tendency vocabularies, the legal Scale values of each dimension MUST be defined.

Furthermore, the format SHOULD allow for

* formal or informal annotation of the meaning of the vocabulary set as a whole (e.g., the type of affective state being described) and
* formal or informal annotation of the meaning of the vocabulary items used (characterization of the meaning of a vocabulary item, either by informal description or by using some formal ontology).
