Large amounts of speech and speech-related information are being stored in the course of several speech database projects, under development in different laboratories. Since each database has its own structure, each also has its own access mechanism. In this paper, a formalism is presented that may be used as a generic access mechanism for speech related information. Since the formalism does not depend upon the structure of the database, the user may for the purpose of query formulation abstract from many of the database-internal details.
