4. CONCLUSION
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> The annotation scheme we have developed appears applicable to a wide variety of different genres of text. The semantic representation used is also highly language-independent. In Spring 2001, we will be embarking on a large-scale annotation effort using a merged corpus consisting of Enthusiast data as well as additional TDT2 data (inter-annotator agreement will also be measured then). An initial annotation exercise carried out on a sample of this merged corpus by 20 linguistics students using our guidelines has been encouraging, with 12 of the students following the guidelines in a satisfactory manner. In the future, we expect to extend this scheme to multilingual corpora.</Paragraph>
