This paper describes a recently collected spoken language corpus for the ATIS (Air Travel Information System) domain. This data collection effort has been co-ordinated by MADCOW (Multi-site ATIS Data COllection Working group). We summarize the motivation for this effort, the goals, the implementation of a multi-site data collection paradigm, and the accomplishments of MADCOW in monitoring the collection and distribution of 12,000 utterances of spontaneous speech from five sites for use in a multi-site common evaluation of speech, natural language and spoken language.
