IBM WebSphere Voice Application Access Supports VoiceXML.
IBM has announced a new WebSphere Voice Application Access middleware product which simplifies building and managing voice portals, and more easily extends web-based portals to voice. Implemented on an open- source, vendor-neutral platform using VoiceXML and Java, the speech- interface application helps mobile users improve accessibility to their information, including e-mail, address book, calendar, web content and e-business applications. http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2002-12-03-c.html
ebXML Collaboration Protocol Profile and Agreement 2.0 Approved as OASIS Open Standard.
OASIS announced that "ebXML Collaboration Protocol Profile and Agreement (CPPA) v2.0" has been approved as an OASIS Open Standard. CPPA ensures interoperability between two parties, even organizations that use software from different sources. The CPP defines a party's message-exchange capabilities and its supported business collaborations. CPA defines the way two business parties interact in performing the chosen business collaborations. http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2002-12-03-b.html
Last Call Working Draft for W3C Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML).
The W3C Voice Browser Working Group released a Last Call Working Draft of the "Speech Synthesis Markup Language Version 1.0." The specification describes markup for generating synthetic speech via a speech synthesizer, and forms part of the proposals for the W3C Speech Interface Framework. With this XML-based language, content authors can generate synthetic speech on the Web, controlling pronunciation, volume, pitch, and rate. http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2002-12-03-a.html
Aries Systems Proposes Submission and Manuscript Exchange Format (SMXF) for STM Publishing.
Aries Systems Corporation has announced a new initiative that would formulate a publishing industry standard to support the exchange of scientific manuscripts between differing online manuscript tracking systems. The proposal calls for the creation of an XML-based, system- neutral standard for the exchange of manuscript metadata and content. The Submission and Manuscript Exchange Format (SMXF) would support the needs of STM journals publishers. http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2002-11-27-a.html
