  In this article, we are interested in the annotation of transcriptions of
human-human dialogue taken from meeting records. We first propose a meeting
content model where conversational acts are interpreted with respect to their
argumentative force and their role in building the argumentative structure of
the meeting discussion. Argumentation in dialogue describes the way
participants take part in the discussion and argue their standpoints. Then, we
propose an annotation scheme based on such an argumentative dialogue model as
well as the evaluation of its adequacy. The obtained higher-level semantic
annotations are exploited in the conceptual indexing of the information
contained in meeting discussions.
