This paper provides some theoretical and empirical bases of a framework aimed at identifying critical context issues related to the design of collaborative-argumentation systems_ especially systems supporting collective design rationale. The framework is intended to help developers anticipate, diagnose, and repair divorces from context which can impede system usability. The theoretical bases of the framework are the notion of contextual divorces, and a descriptive model of context, adapted from Kerbrat-Orecchioni (1990), which describes the context in terms of the main components of an interaction situation, e.g., scene, participants, spatial setting, tasks, etc. The empirical bases of the framework are the evidence provided by some studies evaluating the usability of design rationale systems.
