Abstract

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for a natural language module store. In general, the invention can be used to manage natural language modules offered through a natural language module store. Natural language module (NLM) developers can post NLMs at a NLM store to make the NLMs available for use by others. Developers can select NLMs for inclusion in natural language interpreters (NLIs) containing (and possibly integrating the functionality of) one or more NLMs. Prior to selecting a NLM, a developer can search or browse NLMs to identify an appropriate NLM. Optionally, a developer can test a NLM in the NLM store prior to inclusion in an NLI. For example, multiple NLMs purporting to provide the same specified natural language functionality can be tested relative to one another prior to selection of one of the NLMs for inclusion in an NLI.
