After a look at this blog entry and some gentle prodding from Mikkel, I decided to actually get down to updating the Xesam adaptor to the latest spec. With that done, and a little cheating (i.e. not really doing any parsing on the userQuery), Mikkel’s simple-ui and xesam-adaptor now talk to each other. Whoopee! There’s [...]

The parser is possibly not too efficient, and definitely has trouble parsing more complex queries (ones with multiple or data elements). You can find [...]
It starts …

You can even connect to my tool using the Xesam NewSession method, but that’s about it. I’ve started out with GetProperty, but came upon an interesting [...]

The idea behind such a tool is that most of us today work with a massive amount of diverse information everyday. Often we find [...]
