W3C Invites Implementations of EMMA: Extensible MultiModal Annotation
markup language (Candidate Recommendation)
The Multimodal Interaction Working Group has published the Candidate
Recommendation of "EMMA: Extensible MultiModal Annotation markup
language." Implementation feedback is welcome through 14 April
2008. EMMA is a data exchange format for the interface between input
processors and interaction management systems within the "Multimodal
Architecture and Interfaces," and defines the means to annotate
application specific data with information such as confidence
scores, time stamps, input mode, alternative recognition hypotheses,
and partial recognition results. Visit the Multimodal Interaction
home page.
