W3C Announces CCXML Last Call Working Draft

The W3C Voice Browser Working Group has published the "last call working draft" of CCXML, the Call Control eXtensible Markup Language. CCXML is designed to provide telephony call control support for VoiceXML or other dialog systems. In addition to several editorial changes, major changes include:

·         Session Variables Documentation

·         Session Life-Cycle Details

·         Element and Attribute Name Re-factoring

·         Meta and Metadata Features

·         Expanded Conferencing Events/Options

·         <dialogprepare>

·         Event I/O Updates (send element)

·         VoiceXML Appendix

 

The CCXML specification is available at http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-ccxml-20040430/

 

Last call means that the Working Group believes that this specification is technically sound and therefore wishes this to be the "last call" for comments. If the feedback is positive, the Working Group plans to submit it for consideration as a W3C Candidate Recommendation.
