Hi Folks,
I added the Human Markup Language reference Ranjeeth mentioned and I
changed the first sentence, making two sentences of it, to read:
"The Human Physical Characteristics Description Markup Language
(HPCDML) is the deliverable workproduct of the HPCDML Subcommittee of
the OASIS HumanMarkup Technical Committee. This language is aimed at
bringing together a comprehensive, self-consistent, synthesis of
existing and planned standards for documenting the Human Body in
addition to providing the operational set of physical descriptions
and descriptions of physical behavior required by applications using
the Human Markup Language...."
I will repost a more complete version when I have added the public
health datastandards Ranjeeth mentioned.
Note: It appears that this set of standards is ever-evolving, but I
needed to make a start on it. Eventually, we will produce an RDF
Schema that will encompass this work.
Ciao,
Rex
