n-Opposition theory to structure debates (0909.1151v1)

Abstract: 2007 was the first international congress on the ?square of oppositions?. A first attempt to structure debate using n-opposition theory was presented along with the results of a first experiment on the web. Our proposal for this paper is to define relations between arguments through a structure of opposition (square of oppositions is one structure of opposition). We will be trying to answer the following questions: How to organize debates on the web 2.0? How to structure them in a logical way? What is the role of n-opposition theory, in this context? We present in this paper results of three experiments (Betapolitique 2007, ECAP 2008, Intermed 2008).
