Abstract

To enable better representations of biomedical argumentation over collections of research papers we propose a model and a lightweight ontology to represent interpersonal discourse based data driven reasoning. This model is applied to a collection of scientific documents to show how it can be applied in practice. We present three biomedical applications for this work and suggest connections with other existing ontologies and reasoning tools. Specifically this model offers a lightweight way to connect nanopublication like formal representations to scientific papers written in natural language.
