Abstract
An ontology stores information about a domain of an automatic speech recognition (ASR) application program. The ontology is augmented with information that enables subsequent automatic generation of a speech understanding grammar for use by the ASR application program. The information includes hints about how a human might talk about objects in the domain, such as preludes (phrases that introduce an identification of the object) and postludes (phrases that follow an identification of the object).
