Federico,
Thank you for the hyperlink to the WikiTalk project. In the case of WikiTalk, Wikipedia is
the content of the dialogue system.
Projects like WikiTalk were intended to be described by category four: “the content and
behavior of a dialogue system can be represented as a set of interrelated,
URL-addressable, editable pages. Servers can provide content for a number of different
content types, for example hypertext for content authors and other formats for dialogue
system user agents. Server-side scripting can be utilized to generate pages and generated
pages can contain client-side scripting.”
We can consider a Wikipedia project which, in addition to outputting HTML, responds to
HTTP requests for content of type SSML (application/ssml+xml) or to HTTP requests for
content of a new content type, a Web standard yet to be formulated. Dialogue systems could
utilize HTTP to access resources such as Wikipedia, requesting content from the URL’s of
encyclopedia articles, but requesting content of a type other than HTML. Such output could
be processed from existing wiki content.
Best regards,
Adam

WIKI DIALOGUE SYSTEMS
Exploration into the collaborative authoring and debugging of dialogue systems could
result in new wiki technologies. Wiki dialogue systems could resemble spoken language
dialogue systems with transcript-based user interfaces, users able to easily switch
between dialogue-based interactions and the editing of dialogue system content and
behavior.
Just to be clear, do you (also) have in mind something like WikiTalk
(<http://wikipapers.referata.com/wiki/WikiTalk>), a robot which read
contnet from Wikipedia in various languages and other sources?
