Description:

From the feedback on the EmotionML LCWD by WAI-PF (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-multimodal/2011Jun/0004.html):

3. New vocabularies and extensions.

Emotion ML indicates that user defined custom vocabularies do not need to relate to existing vocabularies (although redundancy should be avoided). To some extent this could put the interoperability of the specification at risk.

One solution might be to create a requirement that user defined custom vocabularies make the relationship with existing requirements explicit. For example, if you wanted to define a new term "contentment", the author of the custom vocabulary would need to say something like:

contentment is a type of happiness
contentment overlaps with satisfaction by 80%
contentment overlaps with relaxed 70%
contentment excludes anger
contentment excludes excitement by 90%

Our definition of contentment might not be exactly right, but the aim is to make the term machine understandable (and hence interoperable).

This suggestion isn't something that would be necessary at this stage in the lifecycle of the specification. It may be something for consideration in the future though.
