<scribe> scribe: debbie

debbie: to help with attendance, send agenda a few days before

dirk: will send agenda around Monday or Tuesday

debbie: will still have time discrepancy for the next call, but after that will be in sync
... sending irc links to the Google chat

dirk: will add irc information to the invite

debbie: should focus on next steps with architecture

<Bev> Hello

debbie: dirk has finished his updates
... still need to review English
... need to make a list of suggestions

bev: no suggestions about architecture document yet

debbie: should we send out another poll?
... for time

<scribe> ACTION: dirk to send around a poll for a new time

<scribe> ACTION: debbie to review English

dirk: set up a new document about interfaces
... more detail

<Bev> Sorry, the call dropped again for me. Will dial back in again.

debbie: should we focus on one specific interface first
... dialog registry underlies all the interoperability

dirk: some existing implementations go directly to different services like Sound Hound

debbie: I was thinking that you would want your smart speaker to be able to find, for example, your bank

dirk: generic way to go from smart speaker to go to a web service like Sound Hound or a weather service
... an adapter or bridge

debbie: some platforms have built in services

dirk: between dialog and API's
... this is the provider selection service
... this is for generic platforms and for providers

debbie: do we need a new use case?
... this is from the user perspective, but maybe we need the developer perspective
... provider API's are mostly web services
... we should focus on one
... come up with a few requirements
... for a standard

dirk: what we expect the services to provide

debbie: proper security
... need to be able to fully express user intents, with the ability to specify entities
... we could try working through an example, like the visa expert

dirk: this might lead us away from generic interfaces

debbie: we should work through a couple of examples

dirk: weather would be a good example because it needs to integrate user-specific information
... can start new document

debbie: how about "Intelligent personal assistant interfaces"?

dirk: will add weather use case and will try to come up with a more formal graphic
... would UML be suitable
... to draw the images

debbie: we should do whatever we can to make the ideas clear.

dirk: agree that we should use SVG as much as possible

<scribe> ACTION: dirk to start new document

debbie: the next call is March 26, time will still be different between Europe and US
