Abstract

Map service techniques are described. In an implementation, text is received from an application for processing by one or more linguistic services. Based on service properties of respective linguistic services that are relevant to the application, particular linguistic services are designated to be available for use by the application and one or more other linguistic services are obscured from the application. A communication is formed to communication the text to a designated linguistic service.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

identifying, by a linguistic service and from content received from an application, an action to be performed that is not performable by the linguistic service, the content being usable to perform the action;

responsive to identifying the action to be performed, accessing, by the linguistic service, a customization webpage that is configured to customize the content according to one or more criteria specified for the action to generate customized content, the one or more criteria specified by the application;

accessing another webpage that is to perform the action based on the customized content, the other webpage being separate from the application; and

causing, by the linguistic service, the customization webpage to communicate the customized content to the other webpage that is to perform the action.

2. The method as described in claim 1, further comprising receiving the content from the application that specifies the one or more criteria used to customize the content.

3. The method as described in claim 1, further comprising forming a communication that is usable to insert a customized identifier of the action into the content.

4. The method as described in claim 1, further comprising populating a file format with the customized content.

5. The method as described in claim 1, further comprising providing a notification to the other webpage that is to perform the action to inform said other webpage of the one or more criteria.

6. The method as described in claim 1, further comprising:

accessing the customization webpage as part of providing results of the action;

customizing the results of the action based on the one or more criteria specified for the action; and

providing customized results via the customization webpage.

7. The method as described in claim 1, further comprising:

populating a file format with a set of parameters that are usable by the other webpage to perform the action; and

passing the set of parameters to the other webpage that is to perform the action.

8. One or more computer storage media implemented at least in part on hardware and including executable instructions that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform a method comprising:

identifying, by a linguistic service and from content received from an application, an action to be performed that is not performable by the linguistic service, the content being usable to perform the action;

responsive to identifying the action to be performed, accessing, by the linguistic service, a customization webpage that is configured to customize the content according to one or more criteria specified for the action to generate customized content, the one or more criteria specified by the application;

accessing another webpage that is to perform the action based on the customized content, the other webpage being separate from the application; and

causing, by the linguistic service, the customization webpage to communicate the customized content to the other webpage that is to perform the action.

9. The one or more computer storage media as described in claim 8, the method further comprising receiving the content from the application that specifies the one or more criteria used to customize the content.

10. The one or more computer storage media as described in claim 8, the method further comprising forming a communication that is usable to insert a customized identifier of the action into the content.

11. The one or more computer storage media as described in claim 8, the method further comprising populating a file format with the customized content.

12. The one or more computer storage media as described in claim 8, the method further comprising providing a notification to the other webpage that is to perform the action to inform said other webpage of the one or more criteria.

13. The one or more computer storage media as described in claim 8, the method further comprising:

accessing the customization webpage as part of providing results of the action;

customizing the results of the action based on the one or more criteria specified for the action; and

providing customized results via the customization webpage.

14. The one or more computer storage media as described in claim 8, the method further comprising:

populating a file format with a set of parameters that are usable by the other webpage to perform the action; and

passing the set of parameters to the other webpage that is to perform the action.
