ClaiMaker released

John Domingue, Thursday 3 Oct 2002

The first version of ClaiMaker has now been released for interested parties to begin modelling and visualizing their literatures. ClaiMaker is a prototype next generation technology for scholarly publishing. It enables researchers to model the claims made by research documents, and the arguments/debates about those claims. Visualization and analysis tools enable you to navigate and analyse the emerging claims network. ClaiMaker is developed by the EPSRC-funded ScholOnto project team. This version of the system has a form based interface for inputting models of the arguments in research papers and some simple discovery functions for exploring the data. New features will be added as they are ready. ClaiMaker has met with interest from many quarters and we will be using the feedback from these groups to take the design forward.
