Here you will find the specification and usage details for the XML document metadata generated by memeio dealing with immediacy, concept distinction and intent.
Version 0.0.3 of the draft adds support for formal deliberation, updates, and annotated tables of contents.
* memeio.xml schema - version 0.0.3 RELEASED JUNE 17th, 15:00 Pacific.
memeio-xml is designed for use by document aggregators and other applications to reveal immediacy and concept data so that readers may better understand intent. This metadata provides immediacy state (e.g., content not format change times) and declarations (e.g., draft, delete, recind publishing declarations), glossary, bibliography and other references, and pointers to concept databases such as memeio, where distinct concepts in the document are identified.
From the memeio point of view a deliberation is a document associated with a deliberated document which specifies the subject and scope of the deliberation, defines the terms and distinct concepts used, and provides references to source materials, authors and moderators. A deliberated document can have a history of deliberations - some of which are historical, some of which may still be active.

The next memeio-xml draft will include the following elements for deliberation. Your feedback appreciated.
These elements describe the history of formal deliberations associated with a document. Here is the form it is likely to take - right click and “view image” to see the whole image:

Since argumentation and deliberation have some shared aspects, I thought our group would like to know about an upcoming conference:
PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT
1st International Conference on Computational Models of Argument (COMMA06)
Organised by the ASPIC project (www.argumentation.org)
The University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK
11th-12th September 2006 (provisional)
General Chair: Professor Michael J. Wooldridge
Programme Chair: Paul E. Dunne
Over the past decade argumentation has become increasingly important in Artificial Intelligence. It has provided a fruitful way of approaching non-monotonic and defeasible reasoning, deliberation about action, and agent communication scenarios such as negotiation. In application domains such as law, medicine and e-democracy it has come to be seen as an essential part of the reasoning.
Successful workshops have been associated with major Artificial Intelligence Conferences, notably the workshop series on Computational Models of Natural Argument held in conjunction with IJCAI and ECAI, and the series of ArgMAS workshops held in conjunction with AAMAS. The time is now right for a conference dedicated to all aspects of computational argument.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
* argumentation frameworks
* argument schemes
* argument in agent systems
* argument based negotiation
* computational properties of argumentation
* decision making based on argumentation
* dialogue based on argument
* e-democracy applications
* legal applications of argument
* medical applications of argument
* reasoning and argument about action.
A call for paper will be issued shortly. To be placed on an electronic mailing list for this conference e-mail: comma@csc.liv.ac.uk
