   This manual describes a system for annotating dialogs. It marks important
  characteristics of utterances that indicate their role in the dialog and
  their relationship to each other. This annotation scheme has been defined
  in order to provide a top-level structure for annotating a range of dialogs
  for many different purposes. For any particular project, we would expect
  that the annotation scheme would be refined to provide further detail on
  phenomena of interest. By agreeing to this standard, however, we would
  increase the chances that annotations done in one project for one purpose
  would be reusable later in other projects and for other purposes.
