Debatepedia: Claims of the arguments paired to the title question
Abstract
This dataset refers to the debates that are accessible via the "Main category groupings" section on the website http://www.debatepedia.org/en/index.php/Debatepedia:Contents . It contains the title questions and those parts of the arguments that are written in bold (usually the claims). They are stored in the subfolder "argumentUnits" in one file per debate. The subfolder "relations" also contains one file per debate. Each line consists of three entries: The first two are numbers pointing to a line in the according file in the "argumentsUnits"-subfolder. The third one reveals whether the argumentative unit presented by the first number attacks or supports the argumentative unit presented by the second number (which is always a title question), depending on whether the first argumentative unit was listed on the PRO/YES or on the CON/NO side of the debate.
