alexander: Arguments and argument mapping

2008-09-03T20:51:40.0012Z

I think the best way to procede with argument mapping would be to develop some basic types for predicates, sentential connectives, quantifiers and so on any then let them be nested to build up bigger propositions. The problem with this is that I don't know if the views in Freebase allow one to show nested links all on the same page.

How are you two doing with arguments and argument mapping on Freebase? I'm also interested in argument mapping with Freebase and how it would compare to Debategraph (http://debategraph.org/)

alexander: tempattr3 and ZX Spectrum games

2008-04-28T19:53:21.0000Z

Hi Phil. The ZX Spectrum games I added were part of a broad set of data taken from Wikipedia Infoboxes. We'll be regularly loading this data as Wikipedia grows, so any expansion in ZX Spectrum game data there will be reflected here too. That said, I'm sure that Wikipedia is not as complete as worldofspectrum.org -- so it would be really great to load data from there too, assuming the license is compatible. Let me know if you need any help!

Hiya.

Would I be correct in thinking the tempattr3 user is somehow related to you? If not, if you could point me in the right diretction that would be much appreciated, and apologies for the interruption.

I notice that tempattr3 has recently added a significant number of games as being published for the ZX Spectrum, and was just wondering if you had any long term plans in this direction; I have a hope/goal of using the World of Spectrum <http://www.worldofspectrum.org/> dataset as a basis of some data to upload to Freebase (although I'll freely admit this isn't progressing very fast at the moment :-( )

Cheers,

Phil

Hi Alexander,

I see you have the Types 'Argument' and 'Debate'. You might be interested that I'm exploring the use of Freebase for argument mapping - setting out some area of debate as a series of assertions with connectives ('supports', conflicts with', etc) between them. Current context is the global warming debate. My modelling of this with Freebases Types and Topics is very fluid just now (I just started today!), but do let me know if you are interested in discussing this. See robertm's Types 'Assertion', 'Assertion link' and 'Link type'.

Cheers,
Robert
