Emotion Markup Language (EmotionML) 1.0 is a W3C Recommendation

The Multimodal Interaction Working Group has published a W3C Recommendation of Emotion Markup Language (EmotionML) 1.0. As the Web is becoming ubiquitous, interactive, and multimodal, technology needs to deal increasingly with human factors, including emotions. The specification of Emotion Markup Language 1.0 aims to strike a balance between practical applicability and scientific well-foundedness. 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.
