The MATE project (Telematics LE4-8370) aims to facilitate re-use of
language resources by addressing the problems of creating, acquiring, and
maintaining spoken dialogue corpora. As part of the project, we have
put together a summary of coding schemes, concentrating on prosody,
(morpho-) syntax, co-reference, dialogue acts, and communicative
difficulties. I have been requested to advertise this summary more widely
because some of the community has found the summary quite useful
(especially regarding dialogue acts). The summary can be found at

http://mate.mip.ou.dk/about/deliverables.html

as deliverable 1.1. We invite comments about either the deliverable
or the project, of course.
