Welcome to the website of the INAS project!
Interactive Argumentation Support for Invasion Biology
This project is funded as part of the Robust Argumentation Machines program by the DFG. We will develop an argumentation machine that supports users in and during the argumentation process in a scientific context. The goal is to enable users to follow ongoing argumentation in a scientific community and to develop their own arguments.
The project collaborates closely with other initiatives that work on mapping and organizing scientific knowledge, such as the hi-knowledge project.
Our interdisciplinary team brings together people from Natural Language Processing, Biology, Semantic Web and Knowledge Representation. This is us:
