Discourse and spoken language treebanks

1. The network teams were invited to contribute to a common "pool" of spoken language transcriptions. The transcriptions should be based on about 30 min of talk and can be sent to jens@ling.gu.se
2. As many teams as possible should try to convert their own trancsriptions to the Tiger XML format, to be paired with the original transcription.
3. On the basis of 1 and 2, the teams in the network were asked to reflect on whether Tiger XML should be extended to cover the needs of discourse and/or spoken language structure.
4. Teams that are able are encouraged to try to parse their own transcriptions (and if possibleof other teams) and make the result available.
5. The teams were also encouraged to code at least 50 utterances manually. Here there was a suggestion to try to capture both internal utterance structure and "between utterance" structure.
