This article describes a strategy for facilitating the annotation of emotions and attitudes in a corpus of video-recorded spontaneous conversations. The pro- posed strategy helps the annotators in reaching a common understanding of emotion labels; thus re- sulting in a better inter-coder agreement. The adopted annotation scheme combines a list of emotion labels with the bi-polar annotation of three categories Pleas- ure; Arousal; and Dominance according to Kipp and Martin (2009). In order to reach a common under- standing of the proposed emotion labels; the PAD for each emotion has been established; and then each emotion has been placed in the PAD dimensional space where each dimension had 10 degrees of free- dom.
