First Draft of Emotion Markup Language (EmotionML) 1.0 Published

The Multimodal Interaction Working Group has published the First Public Working Draft of Emotion Markup Language (EmotionML) 1.0. EmotionML provides representations of emotions and related states for technological applications. The aim of this draft is to strike a balance between practical applicability and scientific well-foundedness of emotion specification. The language is conceived as a "plug-in" language suitable for use in three different areas: (1) manual annotation of data, (2) automatic recognition of emotion-related states from user behavior and (3) generation of emotion-related system behavior.
