How to incorporate collaborative discourse in cultural digital libraries
Holger Brocks, Adelheit Stein, Ulrich Thiel, Ingo Frommholz, Andrea Dirsch-Weigand · 2002
Discourse structure relations can be used to establish collaborative discourses within a cultural digital library. Ranging from factual to more interpersonal levels they describe the intended relations between data and metadata objects, especially annotations. Pragmatics aspects are covered by communicative acts, which complement the discourse structure relations and provide means for metacommunication. The resulting interrelations between the various domain objects can be employed to perform advanced context-based retrieval.
