Danny Ayer's IBIS vocabulary Position1 #74570 This vocabulary is designed to express core IBIS concepts and features a small number of classes and properties which may be extended through the use of other standard or custom vocabularies. |
From Danny Ayer's notes on this ontology: Origins of IBIS In their 1970 paper Issues as Elements of Information Systems, Kunz and Rittel introduced Issue-Based Information Systems (IBIS) as a collaborative problem identification and solving tool. The concept is based on processes of argument. The system is particularly useful when at the outset a problem is either poorly defined, and/or preconceptions of the nature of the problem lead to participants in the discussion taking adversarial roles. To avoid the polarisation that is common in debates, IBIS follows a procedure involving a decomposition of the problem. The key to the system is the idea of an issue, which is in effect a question. As the procedure takes place, particular kinds of knowledge artifacts are generated and recorded. Although finding a good solution to any given problem is by no means guaranteed, the process can reveal answers on which a concensus can be reached, or discover aspects of the problem to which other reasoning techniques may be applied. The system is described in the original paper in terms of a model and algorithms, although at the time of writing the procedures were implemented largely by hand. Subsequent exploration and development lead to the implementation of gIBIS, a sophisticated, hypertext-based graphical tool for using the IBIS techniques by Conklin & Begeman. Later this led to the development of the commercial QuestMap tool, which has since been superceded by the Compendium product.
