Meeting minutes

dirk: provider selection strategy and chaining everything together
… added graphics from architecture
… provider selection strategy implementation, one strategy matches modalities
… this is one example of a provider selection strategy

debbie: could there be more Provider Selection Strategy?

dirk: yes, could chain different criteria, modality matching is always required
… also created provider registry
… the registry is just a list of IPA providers

debbie: Open Voice just published a "manifest" format

https://github.com/open-voice-interoperability/docs/blob/main/specifications/assistantManifest/0.9.0/AssistantManifestSpec.md

dirk: endpoint could be other than a URL
… are there any restrictions on accessing?
… should be in it
… don't think IPA should state where it is
… the object should have an id, and then a configuration object tells you where it is

dirk: should there be public/private distinction?

gerard: the personal assistant should use anonymized access to the cloud assistant
… the public access would be through the personal assistant

dirk: the reply would never be able to be tailored to the user

gerard: if you need to convey user-specific information you use a peer to peer connection to your doctor

dirk: at some point can you say that you trust this site and then you can exchange private information?
… but if you establish trust this could be allowed

dirk: configuration would include id and whether you need to authenticate or not

gerard: how does the Estonian system handle GDPR?

debbie: not sure

dirk: is this something the user would ask the assistant?

dirk: descriptions would have to be language-dependent

dirk: can restrict Google search to a specific language

gerard: Gary Kuhn is a colleague who lives in Estonia now

dirk: would like to have an id so that we can find where errors came from
… if you only have the URL, you might miss some different configurations

debbie: will try to run, continue talking about this next time.
