1. Improving knowledge through social interaction using argumentation
Resource: Semantic Wikis Edit Discussion History
Issue Alice 2008–05–30 [Idea][Argument][Agree][Disagree][Decision]
It’s hard to find out how to improve content (= resources) in semantic wikis
Agree Bob 2008–05–31
Indeed, it’s hard to get focused feedback from users.
Idea Claire 2008–06–01 [Argument][Agree][Disagree][Decision]
So let’s make wiki discussions semantic!
Example Dave 2008–06–02 [Agree][Disagree]
Yes, we could reuse existing argumentation ontologies, like DILIGENT.
Justification Eric 2008–06–03 [Agree][Disagree]
Excellent, that keeps discourses connected to the resources they are about.
Agree Anonymous 2008–06–04
That’s great, old decisions would be documented.
Decision Christoph 2008–06–05
Let’s do it! (Added to IkeWiki, math-specific extensions and assistance in SWiM)

2. Improving knowledge through social interaction using argumentation
Resource: SWiM Edit Discussion History
Issue Christoph 2008–10–01 [Idea][Argument][Agree][Disagree][Decision]
Argumentation in practice is more diverse than our schema.
Agree James 2008–10–02
Yes, I need more flexibility in order to express my concerns.
Evaluation Christoph 2008–10–03 [Agree][Disagree]
A look at argumentations in e-mail discussions shows that there are posts like
requests for explanations, arguments pointing to multiple resources, and other posts
that “just don’t fit”.
Idea Christoph 2008–10–04 [Argument][Agree][Disagree][Decision]
Let’s carefully extend the model.
Issue Michael 2008–10–26 [Idea][Argument][Agree][Disagree][Decision]
How are we going to pay Christoph’s trip to Karlsruhe?
Idea Olga 2008–10–27 [Argument][Agree][Disagree][Decision]
JEM-Thematic-Network ECP-038208 (Joining Educational Mathematics) will pay
for it, but please acknowledge us
