New W3C Spec for Phone Networks

Posted by timothy on from the ring-ring dept.

zscgeek writes "The W3C just released the first working draft of CCXML a new XML based language designed to allow people to write advanced phone control applications. The announcement is here and the specification is here. The cool thing about CCXML is that it provides advanced call control features that were missing from VoiceXML so it allows lots of new applications that just were not possible before with VoiceXML. It also integrates with VoiceXML so you can reuse all your VoiceXML code. Voxeo has also announced an open beta of an implementation of it that you can access at http://community.voxeo.com so you can try this stuff out."

    There are very few organizations that I look up to,
    and W3C is definetly one of them, for its innovation, standardation, and gosh, for keeping
    the net still technology centric (the suits were about to steal it from US though.)

      That's disappointing; they got the wrong answer!

      Roman numerals are order dependant. 1260 is MCCLX. CCXML is actually 840.

      Actually CCXML isn't a valid number in Roman numerals... which is the real shame.

    I created a little voicexml app with voxeo's free test network. Aside from having to call northern california to test it, the process was fun.
