A toolkit is provided for allowing a user to represent a domain for a natural language understanding application. The toolkit allows a user to create a graph that represents a domain. An NLU parser domain may be represented by a single graph, which includes one start node and one end node. Each utterance in the domain will traverse the graph from the start node to the end node. The user may then manipulate the graph to add or delete nodes and arcs. The user may also create subgraphs for subdomains. The toolkit allows the user to merge subdomains to create a larger domain or to remove paths from a start node to an end node to remove subcomponents of a domain. The single graph approach of the present invention also provides a visual representation of a domain to assist a developer in annotating training sentences.
