Database access can be seen as a series of communicating
systems each contributing to the overall efficiency of the
query. This paper investigates the effect that impedance
mismatch has on speech database access: the efficiency of
database transactions between the corpus and the querying
application(s). A system where impedance mismatch has
been reduced through an object-oriented paradigm is
presented and several query examples are shown. The paper
suggests that for applications requiring high rates of database
access for data with many expressed relationships a tightly
coupled object-oriented system extending from the corpus to
the end-user application is required.
