4 Conclusions
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> We proposed an approach to dealing with conditional responses (CRs), which arise naturally in dialogues allowing for mixed initiative and negotiation.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> We proposed two types of CRs. One type describes the case where the answer is contingent on an attribute/value that has not yet been determined in the context (NDCRs). The other type deals with an attribute/value that has already been set in the context, and which now needs to reconsidered (CDCRs). The distinction properly clarifies the different effects on dialogue context CRs may have. We are currently developing an implementation of CRs in the GoDiS system (Kruijff-Korbayov'a et al., 2002).</Paragraph>
