Deliverable D5.1, the Structured Consultation Tool Requirements Analysis and Specification, is now available. This report presents the requirements specification and some design elements for the Structured Consultation Tool (SCT), which is a database application. The SCT is a tool for constructing and presenting detailed surveys to solicit feedback from the public concerning topics on public policy; the tool is underwritten by a computational model of argumentation which incorporates fine-grained, interconnected argumentation schemes. Research into the appropriate form of and relationships between fine-grained argumentation schemes is currently ongoing and preliminary results have been made available as documents internal to the IMPACT Project. Until this work is completed, we can only indicate the requirements specification and design elements particular to the SCT for fine-grained argumentation, in part with reference to design elements of a prototype implementation of Parmenides, a web- based structured policy consultation tool, some of which we will adapt and enrich for the SCT. |
