RE: Surveying the types of argument [via Argumentation Community Group]

Likewise.  I would like to encourage participants to propose more projects, as well, including as projects are underway.  Additionally, we could make use of our group's wiki web pages for purposes including maintaining a list of project ideas.

We can discuss which projects, then, from an accumulating set, interest group members, specify deliverables, and discuss how to proceed, project by project.  Some participants might arrive with new project ideas, others might desire to participate in one or a number of projects, and new project ideas could result from the use of completed projects.

The project idea about video transcripts has some interesting points to it: premises include representing argumentation from a comprehensive real-world data set, or corpus, into which participants and other scholars and scientists can add illustrative technical examples in ways specific to or salient to topics from the representation of argumentation.

Another argumentation-related topic is data, measurement and evidence.  Evidentiality and models of evidence arise in contexts including scientific and legal argumentation.  Scientific and legal models of data, measurement, and evidence could be topics for discussion and possibly topics for one or more project ideas.  Evidence is applicable to modeling argumentation and argumentation can be of use when modeling measurement, methodology, and evidence.



Kind regards,
