About EDM

The Emotional Data Model (EDM) is a governed, schema-bound representational architecture for encoding affective context as a stable, machine-interpretable data object. EDM defines a domain-complete manifold comprising ten mandatory structural domains and 91 explicitly defined fields (Full profile), with in-band governance and strict separation between representation, persistence, and computation layers.
