Object-oriented Access to the Estonian Phonetic Database
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper introduces the Estonian Phonetic Database developed at the Laboratory of Phonetics and Speech Technology of the Institute of Cybernetics at the Tallinn Technical University, and its integration into QuickSig – an object-oriented speech processing environment developed at the Acoustics Laboratory of the Helsinki University of Technology. Methods of database access are discussed, relations between different speech units – sentences, words, phonemes – are defined, examples of predicate functions are given to perform searches for different contexts, and the advantage of an object-oriented paradigm is demonstrated. The introduced approach has been proven to be a flexible research environment allowing studies to be performed in a more efficient way.

Finnish and Estonian Speech Applications Developed on an Object-Oriented Speech Processing and Database System
QuickSig, an object oriented signal processing system that represents a modern tool with which to perform DSP related studies, is presented. It empowers speech scientists to operate in a flexible and motivating environment where signals, filters, spectrograms, etc., are all modelled as objects. Seamlessly integrated to QuickSig is an object-oriented database that permits signals along with thei...
متن کاملThe acoustics of Estonian Swedish long close vowels as compared to Central Swedish and Finland Swedish
This pilot study investigates the phonetic realisation of Estonian Swedish long close vowels comparing them with Central Swedish and Finland Swedish counterparts. It appears that in the Rickul variety of Estonian Swedish there is a distinction between only three long close vowels. The analysed vowels of Estonian Swedish are more similar to those of Central Swedish than Finland Swedish, as measu...
متن کاملDeclarative Semantics in Object-Oriented Software Development - A Taxonomy and Survey
One of the modern paradigms to develop an application is object oriented analysis and design. In this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles in applications. In an application, we must distinguish between procedural semantics and declarative semantics for their implementation in a specific programming language. For the procedural semantics, we can write a ...
متن کاملAccess Controls by Object-Oriented Concepts
This paper introduces object-oriented access controls (OOAC) as a result of consequently applying the object-oriented paradigm for providing access controls in object and interoperable databases. OOAC includes: (1) subjects, like users, roles etc., are regarded as firstclass objects, (2) objects are accessed by sending messages, and (3) access controls deal with controlling the flow of messages...
متن کاملDiscretionary Access Control in Object-oriented Databases: Issues and Research Directions
In recent years we have witnessed considerable e orts in the research and development of object-oriented database management systems. As object-oriented database technology matures, the availability of adequate access control mechanisms will be crucial to its commercial acceptance. In this paper we discuss discretionary access control issues in object-oriented databases. Our objective is two-fo...
