14:21:54 <DanC_jam> anybody looked at the speech markup specs?

14:27:44 <JosD> DanC, I did, some time ago, it was when we cooperated in an IWT project with Luc Van Tichelen who wrote [Semantic Interpretation for Speech Recognition|http://www.w3.org/TR/semantic-interpretation/]

14:28:00 <DanC_jam> hmm

14:28:51 * JosD wonders why DanC says hmm

14:33:38 * DanC_jam was just saying "I see."

14:44:00 <DanC_jam> A:|SemWeb impact of Speech Markup Specs? hmm...

14:44:01 <dc_rdfig> Titled item A.

14:50:40 * JosD now just realizes what DanC wanted, sorry for the confusion

14:54:13 <DanC_jam> these silly natural languages are so imprecise and reliable, huh Jos?

14:54:21 <DanC_jam> :)

14:55:55 <JosD> not sure Dan, it was me who failed here

14:57:06 <JosD> A: thinks that scripting should actually be *de*scripting

14:57:06 <dc_rdfig> Added comment A2.

14:58:29 <JosD> ...as scripting is too procedural, *de* it to become declarative

14:59:39 <JosD> A:...as scripting is too procedural, *de* it to become declarative

15:10:58 <DanC_jam> B:type coersion stuff looks like XPath

15:10:58 <dc_rdfig> Added comment B3.

15:40:23 <JosD> A: I just spoke with Luc, who's actually a heavy believer in declarative languages, and it's quite clear that RDF could help a lot to achieve inter-app interoperability here

15:40:23 <dc_rdfig> Added comment A5.

15:54:46 <AaronSFO> AaronSFO is now known as AaronSw

19:58:13 <JosD> B: Luc replies (via mail) that in a the new draft (due this month) section 4 is gone and what they kept is a reference to EcmaScript compact profile and they just use the datatypes provided in there
