Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate participants' contributions to the development of discussion and knowledge creation as organizational knowledge management, and thereby help them better develop the discussion.
Design/methodology/approach
To evaluate participants' contributions more accurately, a method which analyzes discussion structures by Discourse Semantic Authoring was employed, which represents discussion structures explicitly in terms of discourse and dialogue relations.
Findings
The method successfully evaluates participants based on the content of their comments rather than their number. More fineāgrain semantic structure should be considered in order to improve the accuracy of this evaluation.
Originality/value
This paper presents a first attempt to analyze discussion structures to evaluate participants' contributions.
