Abstract

Understanding how to organize argumentation statements is important to effectively support intelligence analysis. One common approach to supporting analysis is with semi-structured argumentation interfaces, in which the user interrelates and organizes individual free-text analysis units to form a coherent overall argument. An important issue in the semi-structured argumentation approach is what expressivity and structuring assistance should be provided to the users in composing statements into a coherent analysis. At the same time, such interfaces can benefit from being easy to learn while being able to support analyses of different structures and in different domains.
