Abstract

In our approach of argumentation we focus on formalizing the context of arguments and its propagation within the argumentation chain, aiming to facilitate the re-usability of arguments in the World Wide Argument Web. The contextual extension is based on intensional operators used to update the context for different arguments. We extend the ontology of the Argument Interchange Format with context nodes and visualize the arguments as concept maps.
