Name of the TC
HumanMarkup Technical Committee
Statement of purpose
The HumanMarkup Technical Committee is set forth to develop and promote
the Human Markup Language and related efforts. These recommendations
function to allow the conveyance of human characteristics through XML.
HumanML is set forth to be an XML Schema and RDF Schema specification,
containing sets of modules which frame and embed contextual human
characteristics including cultural, social, kinesic, psychological, and
intentional features within conveyed information.
Other efforts within the scope of the HumanMarkup TC include messaging,
style, alternate schemas, constraint mechanisms, object models, and
repository systems, which will address the overall concerns of both
representing and amalgamating human information within data.
The result will be proposed specifications which have the potential to
reduce human misinterpretation and allow much deeper human expression.
Applications include, but are not limited to Virtual Reality, Conflict
Resolution, Psychotherapy, Art, Workflow, Advertising Systems, Cultural
Dialogue, Diplomatic Communication, Business Negotiation, and various
other disciplines and functions.
