Long description

This figure shows an outline of an argument map. Instead of nodes with the text of claims, each node only says ‘main claim’, ‘supporting claim’ or ‘opposing claim’. The argument map is described by the following six lines: MC ‘main claim’ SUPPORT 1 ‘supporting claim’ OPPOSE 1.1 ‘opposing claim’ 1.2 ‘opposing claim’ 1.3 ‘opposing claim’ OPPOSE 2 ‘opposing claim’ SUPPORT 3 ‘supporting claim’ SUPPORT 3.1 ‘supporting claim’ Additionally, the level for each of the claims on the map is indicated:

The main claim belongs to level 0, the top level.

Claims 1, 2 and 3 belong to level 1.

Claims 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 3.1 belong to level 2.
