Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This manuscript reports our effort for facilitating building
question-answering functions using RIME-TK, which is a toolkit for
dialogue and behavior controller for robots/agents. RIME-TK employs
experts, each of which is responsible for executing a task in a
certain domain, and various kinds of tasks can be dealt with by
incorporating new kinds of experts. We have created an expert class
for question-answering based on a database written in a simple
description format. This makes it possible for non-expert to create
question-answering contents, resulting in a wide variety of systems.
The result of a preliminary evaluation showed that this method enables
creating question-answering systems with enough utterance
understanding accuracy.
