Philosophical and Logic-Based Argumentation-Driven Reasoning Approaches and their Realization on the WWW: A Survey

Argumentation is the practice of systematic conscious reasoning involving the construction and evaluation of arguments to justify or support a particular conclusion. This article discusses, compares, contrasts and categorizes existing argumentation-based frameworks and applications as either philosophical or logic-based, and provides critical analysis that emphasizes the structure of arguments and the interactions between them. This review compares and contrasts the frameworks and applications of argumentation-based approaches on Web 2.0 and the Semantic Web, and subsequently highlights the importance and challenges of attaining monological argumentation on the Semantic Web.
