1. Argumentation 3.0How Semantic Web technologies can improve argumentation modeling in Web 2.0 environments Jodi Schneider, Alexandre Passant, Tudor Groza, John G. Breslin COMMA 20102010-09-10 Desenzano del Garda, Italy
2. World Wide Argument Web (WWAW) 2 What if instead of following mailing lists, blogs, online magazines, scientific journals… You could follow ARGUMENTS? Who is arguing about this topic? Or product? Or idea? Is their view positive or negative? Are their ideas credible? Are they trustworthy? Do people I trust, trust them? What arguments are they making?
3. Parts of the WWAW exist 3 An interchange format Argument Interchange Format Argument schemes e.g. Walton Argument-related ontologies IBIS, ScholOnto, SWAN/SIOC, … Prototype interfaces Argument blogging Arvina, MAgtALO
9. Argumentation on today’s Social Web Numerous sites with different ‘genres’: Forums, Blogs, Wikis, Microblogging, … Affordances like: How long does a comment remain visible? How easy is it to quote? How is agreement expressed? 9
24. What’s missing for individual users? To get users to comment: Make it easy-to-use Need enough space for the message length Context matters: Am I looking at the most recent message? Who wrote the message I’m replying to? 13
25. Collating blog comments Collation & querying across the Web 14 Sindice SIOC plugin for WordPress blogs: did a commenter post on other websites?
26. Social Semantic Web research area Trust & credibility layer Golbeck, Computing with Social Trust, Springer 2008 Hartig, Querying Trust in RDF Data with tSPARQL, ESWC 2009 15 http://www.w3.org/2007/03/layerCake.svg

Simplifies. But would need adoption by major hosts. “Argument Blogging needs mainly evangelism and integration with hosted systems to help the World Wide Argument Web [16] emerge, and a federated network in order to make it scalable and resistant to disruption.”

How long does a comment remain visible? – indefinitely (depends on bot archiving, human archiving)How easy is it to quote? – not directly supportedHow is agreement expressed? – someone makes an edit, or states that they agreeArguments happen across the Social Web.The affordances and interaction patterns of each site affect which types of conversations are well-supported—and thus what kind and how much argumentation occurs.
How long does a comment remain visible? Very brieflyHow easy is it to quote? Depends somewhat on message lengthHow is agreement expressed? RT *may* indicate agreement, depending on comments added. @replies can be used to say “good job” or something similarArguments happen across the Social Web.The affordances and interaction patterns of each site affect which types of conversations are well-supported—and thus what kind and how much argumentation occurs.
depending on the community, use-case, etc.Heavily tested, scaled implementations?
Sindice SIOC widget:Shows posts, comments, and topics, from across the Web from sites which use the SIOC ontology.http://www.johnbreslin.com/taxonomy/term/1606 “if you look at the post author or click into any comments list, each user now has a speech bubble beside the username. Clicking on this bubble will show you posts, comments and topics created by that user across the "SIOC-o-sphere".argumentation ecosystem for social media, aligning Semantic Web models for argumentation with those for social media, AIF (alone) doesn’t solve this (yet)Social Websites may not be in RDFAIF expects argument schemesSocial Semantic Web schemes (FOAF, SIOC) mainly model the overall structure.
