Structuring argumentation in meetings : Visualizing the argument structure

Author(s): Weijden, Erik van der (2005)

Abstract:
The goal of this assignment is to find a way to apply some kind of structure to the arguments that are used in meetings in such a way that this argument structure can be visualized, therefore this assignment has the title "Structuring argumentation in meetings: Visualizing the argument structure". An argument structure consists of the arguments that are used during a meeting and the relations that can be established between them. I have chosen to do this because people that are interested in what is discussed during a meeting could normally look into the meeting minutes, but from a visualized argument structure much more information can be gathered than from the text of the meeting minutes. Also a visualized argument structure aids in the understanding of decisions that are made during the meeting.
