Such applications can be used to provide telephony control support to VoiceXML, or other voice dialog systems such as those written in Java. This book tells you how WebSphere Voice Response for AIX and the CCXML Browser supplied with it operate together, and offers hints and tips on creating CCXML applications. It lists elements in the CCXML language and indicates how they are supported, and also how their attributes are interpreted. It also lists events in the CCXML language and indicates when they are issued, and the meaning of the event data. For information on configuring the WebSphere Voice Response for AIX Java and VoiceXML environment to use CCXML, refer to the WebSphere Voice Response for AIX: Deploying and Managing VoiceXML and Java Applications. The WebSphere Voice Response for AIX CCXML Browser conforms to the Working Draft of the Voice Browser Call Control: CCXML Version 1.0 specification, published by W3C and available at http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-ccxml-20040430/. Except where otherwise stated, all references to CCXML in this book relate to that Working Draft specification. You should read the CCXML specification in conjunction with this book. Throughout this book, the terms Call Control XML Browser and CCXML Browser are used in preference to the terms Call Control XML Interpreter and CCXML Interpreter. In the context of CCXML, the terms browser and interpreter are interchangeable. CCXML applications can be developed using the IBM WebSphere Voice Toolkit CCXML Editor. For information on the CCXML Editor, refer to the WebSphere Voice Toolkit online information. Who should read this book Read this book if you are: v An application developer who is interested in creating CCXML applications that run on WebSphere Voice Response for AIX. Related publications Reference, design, and programming information for creating CCXML applications is available from the sources that are represented by the documents listed in this section. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2001, 2008 v For details of WebSphere Voice Response for AIX publications, see “List of WebSphere Voice Response and associated documentation” on page 73 Note: Guidelines and publications cited in this book are for your information only and do not in any manner serve as an endorsement of those materials. You alone are responsible for determining the suitability and applicability of this information to your needs. Specifications and standards You might want to refer to the following sources for information about relevant specifications and standards: v Voice Browser Call Control: CCXML Version 1.0 specification, published by W3C and available at http://www.w3.org/TR/ccxml/ (This is the latest published edition.) v ECMA Standard 262: ECMAScript Language Specification, 3rd Edition, published by ECMA and available at http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-262.htm v ECMA Standard 327: ECMAScript 3rd Edition Compact Profile,, published by ECMA and available at http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-327.htm v Voice Extensible Markup Language (VoiceXML) Version 2.0 specification, published by W3C and available at http://www.w3.org/TR/voicexml20/ Typographic conventions This book uses the following typographic conventions: boldface Identifies an item that is in a WebSphere Voice Response window. The item might be a keyword, an action, a field label, or a pushbutton. Whenever one of the steps in a procedure includes a word in boldface, look in the window for an item that is labeled with that word. boldface italics Are used for emphasis. Take extra care wherever you see bold italics. italics Identify one of the following: v New terms that describe WebSphere Voice Response components or concepts. A term that is printed in italics is usually followed by its definition. v Parameters for which you supply the actual names or values. v References to other books. monospace Identifies one of the following: v Text that you type in an AIX window. Because AIX is case sensitive, ensure that you type the uppercase and lowercase characters exactly as shown. v Names of files and directories (path names). vi Using the CCXML Browser accessibility Accessibility WebSphere Voice Response for AIX is a voice application enabler. The applications that are developed to run on WebSphere Voice Response provide telephone access to business data and services. In this way, WebSphere Voice Response provides accessibility for people who cannot access the data and services by using regular Web pages or traditional graphic interfaces. These telephone user interfaces are fully accessible to people who are blind or have low vision and, if speech recognition is used, to people with mobility impairments or limited hand use. Speech recognition capability can be provided by products such as IBM WebSphere Voice Server. In addition, support for users of Telephony Devices for the Deaf (TDD) is provided as part of the WebSphere Voice Response product. With WebSphere Voice Response you can perform many application development and system administration tasks with a text editor or line commands—these are accessible if you use a screen reader product to interface with them. Also, the default settings of the WebSphere Voice Response graphical user interface can be changed to produce large fonts and high contrast colors. Details of how to use these accessibility features can be found in the WebSphere Voice Response for AIX: User Interface Guide. Alternatively, application development ™ can be done with Java or VoiceXML development tools that are supplied by IBM and third parties. You can also use a screen-reader product to access the WebSphere Voice Response publications in HTML format (for details of their availability refer to “List of WebSphere Voice Response and associated documentation” on page 73 at the back of this book). Notes on terminology v A glossary of commonly-used terms is at the end of this book. ® v The full product name of WebSphere Voice Response for AIX with DirectTalk Technology is generally abbreviated in this book to WebSphere Voice Response. ™ ® v The term pSeries is generically used in this book to refer both to PCI-based RS/6000 ™ computers and to appropriate models of the System p5 and pSeries ranges. (Consult your IBM representative for details of models that are supported for use with WebSphere Voice Response.) RS/6000 computers with an MCA bus are not supported. v The IBM Quad Digital Trunk Telephony PCI Adapter is generally referred to in this book by its abbreviation DTTA. This adapter is a replacement for the IBM ARTIC960RxD Quad Digital Trunk PCI Adapter, which is generally referred to by the abbreviation DTXA. v References made to the VoiceXML 2.1 specification are intended to include VoiceXML 2.0 unless otherwise specified.

  • RDF/XML: RDF Data on the Web
    Developing Ontologies • have an idea of the required concepts and relationships (ER, UML, ...), • generate a (draft) n3 or RDF/XML instance, • write a separate file for the metadata, • load it into Jena with activating a reasoner. • If the reasoner complains about an inconsistent ontology, check the metadata file alone. If this is consistent, and it complains only when also data is loaded: – it may be due to populating a class whose definition is inconsistent and that thus must be empty. – often it is due to wrong datatypes. Recall that datatype specification is not interpreted as a constraint (that is violated for a given value), but as additional knowledge. 220 Chapter 6 RDF/XML: RDF Data on the Web • An XML representation of RDF data for providing RDF data on the Web could be done straightforwardly as a “holds” relation mapped according to SQLX (see ⇒ next slide). • would be highly redundant and very different from an XML representation of the same data • search for a more similar way: leads to “striped XML/RDF” – data feels like XML: can be queried by XPath/Query and transformed by XSLT – can be parsed into an RDF graph. • usually: provide RDF/XML data to an agreed RDFS/OWL ontology. 221 A STRAIGHTFORWARD XML REPRESENTATION OF RDF DATA Note: this is not RDF/XML, but just some possible representation. • RDF data are triples, • their components are either URIs or literals (of XML Schema datatypes), • straightforward XML markup in SQLX style, • since N3 has a term structure, it is easy to find an XML markup. <my-n3:rdf-graph xmlns:my-n3="http://simple-silly-rdf-xml.de#"> <my-n3:triple> <my-n3:subject type="uri">foo://bar/persons/john</my-n3:subject> <my-n3:predicate type="uri">foo://bar/meta#name</my-n3:predicate> <my-n3:object type="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string">John</my-n3:object> </my-n3 triple> <my-n3:triple> ..

Centre-Ville Montréal, Québec Canada H3C 3J7 [email protected] http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~lapalme/ForestInsteadOfTheTrees/ Publication date April 14, 2019 Abstract This tutorial gives a high-level overview of the main principles underlying some XML technologies: DTD, XML Schema, RELAX NG, Schematron, XPath, XSL stylesheets, Formatting Objects, DOM, SAX and StAX models of processing. They are presented from the point of view of the computer scientist, without the hype too often associated with them. We do not give a detailed description but we focus on the relations between the main ideas of XML and other computer language technologies. A single compact pretty-print example is used throughout the text to illustrate the processing of an XML structure with XML technologies or with Java programs. We also show how to create an XML document by programming in Java, in Ruby, in Python, in PHP, in E4X (Ecmascript for XML) and in Swift. The source code of the example XML ®les and the programs are available either at the companion web site of this document or by clicking on the ®le name within brackets at the start of the caption of each example.

Abstract The OWL 2 Web Ontology Language, informally OWL 2, is an ontology language for the Semantic Web with formally defined meaning. OWL 2 ontologies provide classes, properties, individuals, and data values and are stored as Semantic Web documents. OWL 2 ontologies can be used along with information written in RDF, and OWL 2 ontologies themselves are primarily exchanged as RDF documents. The OWL 2 Document Overview describes the overall state of OWL 2, and should be read before other OWL 2 documents.
