RE: RDC Commercially Applicable?? (MERGED WITH RE: Testing with Nuance)
Steve -- I've authored a RDC on Nuance. Many thanks to Daniel Spangler,
for his patience and promptness, as he tried out a bunch of tests on the
platform for me.
I present a GSL compatibility patch for the usState RDC. There are two
changes:
1) The semantic interpretation (in the grammar) has been translated to one
that is amenable to the GSLCompiler (as discussed before)
2) The other change has to do with the fact that GSL does not have the
equivalent of an unnamed slot for the root rule of the grammar
[i.e. the <tag> $="foo" </tag> or <tag> $=$foo+"bar" </tag> construct for
the root rule ]. Since many RDCs use an unnamed slot in the grammars, the
least resistance workaround for translating those to GSL grammars is to
treat a specific named slot as an unnamed one. The "compatibility" slot in
the patch that follows serves this purpose, as evident from the change to
the serialization script.
Please let me know if you have any questions. To answer the broader
question, I believe RDCs can run on any commercially available platform.
This exercise with a new platform (new w.r.t RDC deployment) has been a
good example.
Thanks for starting this thread. I should get a FAQ section going in the
online documentation, and link this thread there.
