15:58:56 <ddahl> meeting: Voice Interaction
15:59:00 <ddahl> chair: debbie
15:59:08 <ddahl> scribe: ddahl
16:01:11 <ddahl> present: debbie dirk jon
16:02:28 <ddahl> topic: changes to interfaces document
16:03:07 <ddahl> dirk: shows updates from today
16:03:49 <ddahl> https://w3c.github.io/voiceinteraction/voice%20interaction%20drafts/paInterfaces/paInterfaces.htm
16:04:14 <ddahl> dirk: these are in Github
16:04:51 <ddahl> dirk: interface between client and service
16:09:55 <ddahl> dirk: what about the user identification, should that be a parameter or part of the metadata?
16:10:27 <ddahl> jon: some use cases require that we know whether the user is authorized to use the service
16:11:25 <ddahl> debbie: we could postpone this decision
16:11:49 <ddahl> dirk: session id should be required
16:12:28 <ddahl> ...if the system requires it there should be a session id
16:12:41 <ddahl> debbie: there could also be a request id
16:14:50 <ddahl> dirk: audio data could be endpointed or streamed
16:15:46 <ddahl> debbie: we need to be able to accomodate both cases
16:17:36 <ddahl> dirk: harder to encode streamed data, have to agree on codec
16:18:49 <ddahl> dirk: we should describe client activation strategy here
16:19:29 <ddahl> ...we should decide how to use text that's common to both documents
16:19:53 <ddahl> debbie: we should try to use links if we can
16:20:28 <ddahl> dirk: this might require more work on the architecture document
16:21:24 <ddahl> debbie: we could work on the interfaces and then go back and update architecture
16:22:04 <ddahl> dirk: also changed CSS
16:24:11 <ddahl> debbie: will look into streamed audio data in EMMA
16:25:21 <ddahl> debbie: do we want to standardize low-level interfaces
16:25:31 <ddahl> dirk: we would lose context and history
16:26:28 <ddahl> debbie: should make it usable without those
16:26:50 <ddahl> topic: EMMA
16:27:53 <ddahl> https://www.conversational-technologies.com/emma/emmaexample.html
16:38:13 <ddahl> debbie: interpretations could be nbest
16:42:28 <ddahl> debbie: where is the signal in 2.0
16:43:32 <ddahl> debbie: can we include signal in the document?
16:45:08 <ddahl> debbie: we need to find out if there's an XML format for binary inputs
16:45:29 <ddahl> ..that would include images
16:45:48 <ddahl> ...InkML could cover ink inputs
16:46:23 <ddahl> ...also EmotionML could be part of an EMMA document
16:46:53 <ddahl> ...location information
16:47:21 <ddahl> ...we can also incorporate Geolocation
16:50:01 <ddahl> dirk: still need to do some research on audio streaming
16:50:15 <ddahl> debbie: there is an audio working group
16:51:16 <ddahl> ...some of their work might be useful for representing audio in EMMA
16:51:59 <ddahl> debbie: we can always say that we've enhanced EMMA for streamed audio
16:52:34 <ddahl> dirk: we could mention standards like EMMA, Geolocation, and Audio
16:55:31 <ddahl> debbie: should keep things agnostic to the underlying protocol
16:55:51 <ddahl> dirk: we should standardize names but not protocols
16:56:18 <ddahl> debbie: should we think about MRCP?
16:56:41 <ddahl> ...Media Resources Control Protocol
16:57:24 <ddahl> debbie: communication between a voice browser and speech resources
16:57:47 <ddahl> dirk: not that common anymore
16:58:20 <ddahl> dirk: used in concert with SIP calls
16:59:04 <ddahl> action: dirk to update interfaces document
16:59:12 <ddahl> action: investigate binary XML
