Slot: direction

A term indicating whether the Statement supports, disputes, or remains neutral w.r.t. the validity of the Proposition it evaluates.

Comments

  • Statements put forth a Proposition that expresses some possible fact about the world, and may provide an assessment of this proposition's validity (i.e. how likely it is to be true or false based on evaluated evidence). The semantics of the Proposition are captured in the 'subject', 'predicate', 'object', and optional 'qualifier' attributes. An assessment of the Proposition's validity can be captured using 'direction', 'strength', and 'score' attributes. The 'direction' attribute is used to indicate whether the Statement's Proposition is supported by the agent's assessment (when evidence favors its validity), is disputed by the agent's assessment (when evidence argues against its validity), or remains neutral (when conflicting or insufficient evidence exists to assert one direction or the other). (Enumerated values = 'supports', 'disputes', 'neutral').

- Statements put forth a Proposition that expresses some possible fact about the world,
  and may provide an assessment of this proposition's validity (i.e. how likely it
  is to be true or false based on evaluated evidence). The semantics of the Proposition
  are captured in the 'subject',  'predicate', 'object', and optional 'qualifier'
  attributes. An assessment of the Proposition's validity can be captured using 'direction',
  'strength', and 'score' attributes. The 'direction'  attribute is used to indicate
  whether the Statement's Proposition is *supported* by the agent's assessment (when
  evidence favors its validity), is *disputed* by the agent's assessment (when evidence
  argues against its validity), or remains *neutral* (when conflicting or insufficient
  evidence exists to assert one direction or the other).  (Enumerated values = 'supports',
  'disputes', 'neutral').
