I briefly outline the proposed SAIBA framework for multimodal generation of communicative behavior, which is an international research platform that fosters the exchange of components between different systems. The SAIBA framework currently contains a first draft of the lower level Behavior Markup Language (BML) and is starting work on the higher level Function Markup Language (FML). I also briefly explain the usefulness of this distinction by using examples of several implemented systems that each draws different strengths from it.
