Abstract
A platform provides for developers of applications, such as devices, with natural language interfaces to configure the availability of vertical domain modules in applications. Modules can include grammars for parsing natural language expressions and interfaces to data sources. Third party developers can create modules with pricing models for their usage or access to their data. Device developers can browse or search available modules and test their performance for specific queries. The platform provides for devices users to access the chosen modules as configured by device developers and for charging and payment between users, application developers, and module developers.
