5 Conclusions
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> In this paper we have identified two basic requirements for achieving actual corpora reusability, namely annotation modularity and use of annotation meta-schemes , and described how they are addressed in the ADAM Corpus. We claim that, for effective circulation and re-use of corpora, it is essential to make provision for as many practices of dialogue annotation as possible, as well as approaches to annotation at different levels, instead of providing fixed levels and schemes of analysis, no matter how standardized. Corpora will have a chance to be reused as far as it will be easy and relatively inexpensive to adapt them to different needs and application purposes. Use of XML as mark-up language is a further step toward this end.</Paragraph>
