This paper gives an overview of activities in the SCHISMA project now and in the near and fur­ther future. Main points of discussion on current activities are collecting data on dialogues, dialogue analysis and dialogue modelling. Some attention is also paid to experiences using a the commercially available product Natural Lan­guage.
