Abstract

Argumentation support systems have yet to deliver their full potential to teams striving for informed sense and decision making. These systems are poorly integrated in the environment of multidisciplinary teams that collaborate in data intensive and cognitive complex settings, such as those involving DNA analysis, marketing or drug testing research. Such teams use on a daily basis tools to collect big amounts of required data as well as sophisticated data mining tools to uncover patterns in the collected data. However, these tools do not interoperate with argumentation support systems. In this paper, we present an approach to support collaboration which exploits a range of semantic types to enable an incremental formalization of argumentative discourses, as well as the integration of argumentation support systems with data mining services. The overall aim of our approach is to semantically augment argumentative discourses, while also exploiting the synergy between tools supporting machine and human intelligence.
