document: Scholarly publishing and argument in hyperspace The World Wide Web is opening up access to documents and data for scholars . However it has not yet impacted on one of the primary activities in research : assessing new findings in the light of current knowledge and debating it with colleagues . The ClaiMaker system uses a directed graph model with similarities to hypertext , in which new ideas are published as nodes , which other contributors can build on or challenge in a variety of ways by linking to them . Nodes and links have semantic structure to facilitate the provision of specialist services for interrogating and visualizing the emerging network . By way of example , this paper is grounded in a ClaiMaker model to illustrate how new claims can be described in this structured way .
