This paper argues that examination of information in the context of the Pragmatic Web needs to be conducted in a discursive and structured manner. It focuses on examination dialogues and proposes a novel approach to supporting these dialogues in DISCOURSIUM, a tool and methodology for discursive practice based on the meta-communication architecture [29]. To achieve its objective, this paper firstly describes the characteristics of examination dialogues and justifies the relevance of the metacommunication concepts for critically examining information. It secondly illustrates how they can be modeled in the context of the discourse-support system Compendium in order to provide users with templates for examination dialogues. After discussing the limitations of such a modeling, the paper then presents the rationale and methodology of the DISCOURSIUM. It particularly illustrates how DISCOURSIUM can build on the strengths and potential of some current argument mapping technologies, and how the argument maps created can further be critically examined. Finally, this paper concludes that the objective and characteristics of DISCOURSIUM focusing on the pragmatic aspects of information and examination dialogues intersect with the concepts of the Pragmatic Web.
