Universal Ink Model

The Universal Ink Model defines a language-neutral, hardware- and platform-neutral data model for representing and manipulating digital ink data captured using an electronic pen or stylus, or using touch input.

The main aspects of the ink model are:

• Interoperability of ink-based data models by defining a standardized interface with other systems
• Biometric data storage mechanism
• Ink data storage mechanism
• Rendering configurations storage mechanism
• Ability to compose spline/raw-input based logical trees, which are contained within the ink model
• Portability, by enabling conversion to common industry standards
• Extensibility, by enabling the description of ink data related semantic metadata
• Standardized serialization mechanism
