RE: Voice Registry in OVN?

Dirk, thank you for the note – and please allow me to offer a response and way forward.

 

* Our session on 1 September will be moderated by Jim Larson.  It will be my recommendation to Jim (cc’d here) that your proposed agenda be adopted.

* Introduction to current Voice Interaction group's IPA Architecture draft
* - Introduction to OVN's Voice Registry
* - Discussion of similarities and deviations of both approaches

 

* As you present and discuss the IPA Architecture, please bring forward your ideas as to a voice registry – a potential “DNS for voice.”  How will IPA users confidently search, find, and connect to assistant destinations?

 

* However, a caveat as we approach the meeting on the 1st:  our Voice Registry System (VRS) Work Group has just started to meet (one session, this past Thursday, with a going-forward schedule of every-other Thursday).  Maria is leading the team right now in problem definition.   Though several solution ideas have been proposed, we’re not yet close to assessing potential desired capabilities and requirements.  Depending upon the time we have available in the I would expect that Maria could update you and the team on the problem statements identified to date.  

 

Dirk, is this an appropriate plan for going forward?

 

Thank you for your helping us on our journey.

 

With appreciation,

 

Jon

Hey there,

 

thank you for your replies.

 

I was hoping for some more info in the course of the ongoing collaboration between OVN and this group. Maybe, from Jon who is attending our bi-weekly calls.

 

Maybe, my assumption in this regard was wrong. If this is something more complicated, I would like to suggest to put this on the agenda when Debbie and I will present our architectural draft in the OVN calls. I could think of something like

 

- Introduction to current Voice Interaction group's IPA Architecture draft

- Introduction to OVN's Voice Registry

- Discussion of similarities and deviations of both approaches

 

Would this make sense to you?

Dirk

Dirk, thanks for the note.  I hope you are feeling well, and much better than before.

 

Yes, the Open Voice Network is beginning to explore a concept with the working title of Voice Registry System, or VRS.    The concept was first described in early OVN discussions as a “DNS for voice.” 

 

We think the problem statement resides within the promise of a multi-assistant future, a realm where nearly every enterprise and organizational entity has its own conversational assistant, and current platforms (and telecom service providers) serve as value-added channels.  In such an environment, questions will arise as to dependable destination identification and access – and the disambiguation processes and UX that will enable destination accuracy with ease.

 

* Within the OVN, Jim Larson recently led our Voice Developer Community in a virtual workshop dedicated to naming envisioned capabilities of a VRS.  
* These were presented to our Technical Advisory Council, and it was agreed to form a specific Work Group for VRS consideration and research.   
* Maria Brinas-Dobrowski has led most of our VRS-centric discussions within the Technical Advisory Council, and is cc’d here.

 

Might we schedule a briefing with you (and invited colleagues) as to thinking to date?   Would you have an interest in joining some of the OVN conversations? 

 

Please let me know how we might best collaborate with you.

 

With appreciation,

 

Jon

Hey there,

 

in the minutes of the past call I read

 

jon: this is like the voice registry system, like DNS

   ... in OVN

 

Maybe, I missed something but I would be interested in learning more about that concept that seem to exist in OVN.

Could you tell me more about it? And if this exists: I would be interested in aligning the terminonology as Debbie already mentioned.

Is there more?

Dirk
