Implementing The Argql Query Language

Exploration and information identification constitute challenging research problems, with important applications in sensemaking over structured argumentative dialogues. In this paper, we present the implementation ArgQL, a high-level declarative query language, designed for querying dialogical data, structured in the principles of argumentation. We implement the language using an AIF-based representation and a translation of ArgQL into (complex) SPARQL queries. ArgQL provides a simple and intuitive way to query a structured dialogue using pure argumentative terminology.
