Udapi is an open-source framework providing an application programming interface (API) for processing Universal Dependencies data. Udapi is available in Python, Perl and Java. It is suitable both for full-fledged applications and fast prototyping: visualization of dependency trees, format conversions, querying, editing and transformations, validity tests, dependency parsing, evaluation etc.

This paper describes an embedded Voice Interface Language (VIL) that enables the rapid prototyping and creation of applications requiring a voice interface. It can be integrated into popular script languages such as Perl or Tcl/Tk. Three levels of single-word commands enable the application designers to access basic speech processing technologies, such as automatic speech recognition and text-t...

The Structured Transaction Definition Language (STDL) is a language based programming interface to transactional protocols and runtime systems, designed to resolve the industry problem of incompatible Transaction Processing (TP) monitor programming interfaces. STDL defines a three-group model, in which application procedures are grouped according to the type of work they perform: presentation, ...

Views is an open-architecture application environment that offers a consistent user interface across applications, interoperability between them, much less programming to produce an application, and the ability to add and modify applications on the fly. The system kernel contains a user interface layer and a persistent data-storage layer, so that applications only have to implement the true fun...

Abstract The Open Databases Integration for Materials Design (OPTIMADE) consortium has designed a universal application programming interface (API) to make materials databases accessible and interoperable. We outline the first stable release of specification, v1.0, which is already supported by many leading several software packages. illustrate advantages OPTIMADE API through worked examples on...

A characteristic task in remote sensing Earth observation involves the registration of changes which may signal environmentally significant events. The Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and the Sentinel-2 optical/visible-infrared space-borne platforms, with spatial resolutions of the order of 10-20 meters and revisit times of the order of days, provide an attractive source of data for c...
