   [7]https://w3c.github.io/voiceinteraction/voice%20interaction%2

   0drafts/paArchitecture.htm

   ... and accompanying text

   in section 3.3.1

 

   scribe: added 3.3.2

   ... given ASR result, how to select the right provider

   ... maybe just return an nbest

 

   debbie: what if there are 1000's of services

 

   dirk: maybe some kind of filtering

   ... or preprocessing

 

   jon: how do different IPA's communicate?

   ... how is the initial question processed

 

   debbie: very similar to a web search

 

   jon: could either do a blind search or a search for a specific

   IPA

 

   dirk: could say "ask Debbie's store for ice cream"

 

   jon: could provider service use my current location to filter

   results?

 

   dirk: this is another optimization that could be done

   ... this is a brute force approach now, and needs to be made

   better

 

   jon: prefiltering could be done on the basis of knowing who the

   owner is

   ... language, citizenship, location, etc.

 

   debbie: we need some way of representing intent sets

   ... maybe something like OWL, RDF or XML Schema

   ... we don't have to invent it

   ... how would abstraction work?

   ... there could be a lot of ways of describing the same intent,

   abstraction would be difficult

   ... sometimes one of the slots is built into the intent, like

   "plan air travel"

   ... or you could just have "plan travel" and the means of

   travel is a slot

   ... we need to avoid having to make an ontology of the world

 

   jon: maybe use a unique identifier for each entity

 

   debbie: we used to have to specify a url for every web activity

   ... now, only the url's are standardized

 

   jon: we should have a unique identifier or each entity

   ... that would prevent squatting on providers

 

   debbie: micorsoft

 

   jon: is it the owner of the IPA that is affiliated with a

   specific organization?

 

   debbie: what if it was a big organization with multiple IP

   ... A's

 

   dirk: similar to the situation in today's cars, some built-in

   but you can also connect your smartphone

   ... can update document with these points

 

OVN presentation

 

   debbie: dirk would go through the architecture and the diagram

   ... for OVN

 

   jon: define critical common components for potential

  standardization

   ... jim larson is the moderator
