ReproduceAbstract
We present an annotation scheme for argumentative and domain-specific aspects of scholarly articles on the theory of International Relations. At argumentation level we identify Claims and Support/Attack relations. At domain level we model discourse content in terms of Theory and Data-related statements. We annotate Waltz's 1993 text on structural realism and show that our scheme can be reliably applied by domain experts enables insights on two research questions on justifications of claims.
