Risk Controversies visualized - The Development of Internet based Argumentation Maps

Duration: 01.12.2005 - 30.06.2009


The aim of the research project is to develop an internet based visualization of risk related controversies as argumentation maps on the basis of two exemplary case studies: dietary supplements and nanoscale particles.
These argumentation maps will be developed by an interdisciplinary research team of sociologists, natural scientists, computer scientists as well as partners and advisors from industry, politics and academia. With these argumentation maps users will be provided with detailed information about public debates on risks concerning dietary supplements and nanoscale particles. Main focus will be given on showing a broad overview of the most commonly discussed arguments and matters of dispute within the case studies mentioned above. Different perspectives and opinions of participating and affected political, industrial and public actors as well as social groups will be presented in particular. This information will also be completed by documents and reference texts as well as basic information about risk substances.
