    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for building an intelligent automated assistant. Embodiments of the present invention rely on the concept of “active ontologies” (e.g., execution environments constructed in an ontology-like manner) to build and run applications for use by intelligent automated assistants. In one specific embodiment, a method for building an automated assistant includes interfacing a service-oriented architecture that includes a plurality of remote services to an active ontology, where the active ontology includes at least one active processing element that models a domain. At least one of the remote services is then registered for use in the domain.

    Abstract: Systems and processes for providing and modifying an output of an electronic document using a digital assistant of an electronic device are provided. An example method includes, receiving, at a first electronic device, a user input requesting an audible output of an electronic document including text; and in accordance with a determination to provide the audible output of the electronic document: generating a media item based on the text of the electronic document; after generating the media item, outputting, based on a semantic structure of the electronic document, the media item; while outputting the media item, receiving a second user input; and in accordance with a determination that the second user input is associated with an intent to modify the output: modifying, based on the second user input and the semantic structure of the electronic document, the output of the media item.
