Abstract
Knowledge elicitation, representation and reasoning explanation by/to non computing experts has always been considered as a crafty task due to difficulty of expressing logical statements by non logicians. In this paper, we use the COGUI editor in order to elicit and represent Argumentation Schemes within an inconsistent knowledge base. COGUI is a visual, graph based knowledge representation editor compatible with main Semantic Web languages. COGUI allows for default reasoning on top of ontologies. We investigate its use for modelling and reasoning using Argumentation Schemes and discuss the advantages of such representation. We show how this approach can be useful in the practical setting of EcoBioCap where the different Argumentation Schemes can be used to lead reasoning.
