Abstract
One problem that Argument Mining (AM) is facing is the difficultyof obtaining suitable annotated corpora. We propose a web-basedplatform, BookSafari, that allows crowdsourcing of annotated cor-pora forrelation-based AMfrom users providing reviews for booksand exchanging opinions about these reviews to facilitate argumen-tative dialogue. The annotations amount to pairwise argumentativerelations ofattackandsupportbetween opinions and between opin-ions and reviews. As a result of the annotations, reviews and opinionsform structured debates which can be understood as bipolar argu-mentation frameworks. The platform also empowers annotationsof the same pairs by multiple annotators and can support differentmeasures of inter-annotator agreement and corpora selection.
