The present invention discloses a speech-enabled application that includes two or more linked markup documents that together form a speech-enabled application served by a Web 2.0 server. The linked markup documents can conform to an ATOM PUBLISHING PROTOCOL (APP) based protocol. Additionally, the linked markup documents can include an entry collection of documents and a resource collection of documents. The resource collection can include at least one speech resource associated with a speech engine disposed in a speech processing system remotely located from the Web 2.0 server. The speech resource can add a speech processing capability to the speech-enabled application. In one embodiment, end-users of the speech-enabled application can be permitted to introspect, customize, replace, add, re-order, and remove at least a portion of the linked markup documents.
