Re: [EmotionML] Additional implementation feedback and Rec publication (was Re: [EmotionML] implementation release and feedbacks)

Hello all,
yes sure, but since I don't see the new specification, I can only trust you
that the (small) mistakes are corrected. As for the schemas,

>[5] http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/PR-emotionml-20130416/emotionml.xsd
>[6] http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/PR-emotionml-20130416/emotionml<http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/PR-emotionml-20130416/emotionml->
-fragments.xsd

The only difference I see with the schemas stored in our implementation is
the required status of the version attribute of the <emotionml> tag, and
it's possible I altered the schema myself because of the lack of the
version in http://www.w3.org/TR/emotion-voc/xml. It is also important to
fix the version attribute on this document, otherwise every emotionml
document referring to these vocabularies will fail to pass validation (I
had to manually disable the corresponding assertion check in the code),

best regards,
Alexandre
