Abstract

The observed relation between prosodic information and the degree of precision and lack of ambiguity is attempted to be integrated in the processing of the user's spoken input in the CitizenShield ("POLIAS") system for consumer complaints for commercial products. The prosodic information contained in the spoken descriptions provided by the consumers is attempted to be preserved with the use of semantically processable markers, classifiable within an Ontological Framework and signalizing prosodic prominence in the speakers spoken input. Semantic processability is related to the reusability and/or extensibility of the present system to multilingual applications or even to other types of monolingual applications.
