This paper is the description of a semantic annotation project that aims at the re-annotation of the Switchboard Corpus, previously annotated with the SWBD-DAMSL scheme, according to a new international standard for dialogue act analysis. A major objective is to evaluate, empirically, the applicability of the new ISO standard through the construction of an interoperable language resource that will eventually help evaluate the pros and cons of different annotation schemes. In this paper, we shall provide an account of the various aspects of the annotation project, especially in terms of the conversion between the two analytical systems, including those that can be fully automated and those that have to be manually inspected and validated. A second objective is to provide some basic descriptive statistics about the newly annotated corpus with a view to characterize the new annotation scheme in comparison with the SWBD-DAMSL scheme.
