Abstract
Dialogue-based processing of graphics forms a framework for enabling visually impaired people to access computer graphics. The presented approach integrates current technologies of dialogue systems, computer graphics and ontologies for the purpose of overcoming the obstacles and problems that the development of the system used for the dialogue processing of graphics entails. In this paper we focus on problems related to creating graphical ontologies and exploiting them in the annotation of graphical objects as well as in the development of dialogue strategies. We also present an illustrative example.
