<BC> Hello

jim: will there be a path for control?
… audio only, control, or tagged data?

jim: question for Dirk -- what is included in item 4
… also what about 5

debbie: has to include all semantic information and enough information for the provider selection service to work
… also forwards information to local ASR

debbie: ask Dirk what is "received data" in step 5?
… just the data from step 4/

jim: lets talk about 5 next time, make a list of all data items, then decide if there's some structure

debbie: what do we want to know about each data item?
… type of media, source, target, confidence, input or output, timestamps

<BC> What about language?

jim: identifier for each data item

<BC> Emotion Markup EML?

debbie: information identifying the speaker, that raises security and privacy
… could be embedded in EMMA or MMI Architecture

debbie: what about step in the output path? how does that mapping happen?
… step 14 is straightforward
… could be streamed

debbie: local processing is classic dialog system architecture
… need to focus on steps 5, 9,10,11,12 and 13

bev: let's not simplify 10 and 11

debbie: could put together straw person table for data items

jim: just a straw person proposal
