Has anybody looked at this spec? I wonder how the "expressions" therein relate to RDF queries. Maybe ecmascript should join SQL and XQuery in our "human friendly syntax" discussions? (Hmm... maybe that objective should note SQL and XQuery by name...) The voice page says "Last Call Working Draft expected August 2004" so I'd like a couple people from this WG to take a look in that timeframe and let the rest of us know if we should be looking more closely. (Ralph, maybe SemWeb BPD should take a look too? DanBri, is the amount of attention from the IG on this spec healthy?) Semantic Interpretation for Speech Recognition W3C Working Draft 1 April 2003 This version: http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-semantic-interpretation-20030401/ Latest version: http://www.w3.org/TR/semantic-interpretation/ Previous version: http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-semantic-interpretation-20011116/ Editors: Luc Van Tichelen, ScanSoft Copyright © 2003 W3C® (MIT, ERCIM, Keio), All Rights Reserved. W3C liability, trademark, document use and software licensing rules apply. ________________________________________________________________________ Abstract This document defines the process of Semantic Interpretation for Speech Recognition and the syntax and semantics of semantic interpretation tags that can be added to speech recognition grammars to compute information to return to an application on the basis of rules and tokens that were matched by the speech recognizer. In particular, it defines the syntax and semantics of the contents of Tags in the Speech Recognition Grammar Specification. Semantic Interpretation may be useful in combination with other specifications, such as the Stochastic Language Models (N-Gram) Specification, but their use with N-grams has not yet been studied. The results of semantic interpretation are describing the meaning of a natural language utterance. The current specification represents this information as an EcmaScript object, and defines a mechanism to serialize the result into XML. The W3C Multimodal Interaction Activity is defining a data format (EMMA) for representing information contained in user utterances, and has published the requirements for this data format (EMMA Requirements). It is believed that semantic interpretation will be able to produce results that can be included in EMMA. Status of this document This document is a public W3C Working Draft for review by W3C members and other interested parties. It is a draft document and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use W3C Working Drafts as reference material or to cite them as other than "work in progress". A list of current public W3C Working Drafts can be found at http://www.w3.org/TR. This specification describes the syntax and semantics for semantic interpretation tags in speech recognition grammars, and forms part of the proposals for the W3C Speech Interface Framework. It is intended to be used with Speech Recognition grammars as defined in Speech Recognition Grammar Specification. This document has been produced as part of the W3C Voice Browser Activity, following the procedures set out for the W3C Process. The authors of this document are members of the Voice Browser Working Group (W3C Members only). Patent disclosures relevant to this specification may be found on the Working Group's patent disclosure page in conformance with W3C policy. This document is for public review, and comments and discussion are welcomed on the public mailing list <w3c-voice@w3.org>. Note as a precaution against spam, you should first subscribe to this list by sending an email to <www-voice-request@w3.org> with the word subscribe in the subject line (include the word unsubscribe if you want to unsubscribe). The archive for the list is accessible online. The working group's intention is to advance this specification to last call Working Draft during the 2nd quarter of 2003 (see Work Items of the Voice Browser Activity). Reviewers are encouraged to send their comments on this working draft before 2 May 2003. -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/
