Title
Ontological Foundations for Scholarly Debate Mapping Technology
Abstract
Mapping scholarly debates is an important genre of what can be called Knowledge Domain Analytics (KDA) technology --i.e. technology which combines both quantitative and qualitative methods of analysing specialist knowledge domains. However, current KDA technology research has emerged from diverse traditions and thus lacks a common conceptual foundation. This paper reports on the design of a KDA ontology that aims to provide this foundation. The paper then describes the argumentation extensions to the ontology for supporting scholarly debate mapping as a special form of KDA and demonstrates its expressive capabilities using a case study debate.
