- This paper contributes to the limited body of empirical research in the domain of discourse structure of information seeking queries.We describe the development of an annotation schema for coding topic development in information seeking queries and the initialobservations from a pilot sample of query sessions. The main idea that we explore is the relationship between constant and variablediscourse entities and their role in tracking changes in the topic progression. We argue that the topicalized entities remain stable acrossdevelopment of the discourse and can be identified by a simple mechanism where anaphora resolution is a precursor. We also claim thata corpus annotated in this framework can be used as training data for dialogue management and computational semantics systems.
