Structuring persistent chat conversations: experimental results of the chatsistance tool

Abstract This research targets persistency by introducing new features in Chatsistance, a persistent chat tool that employs speech act theory and an explicit referencing technique to structure the chat log, and by providing further options for retrieving information. Earlier theory is related to the...

description Abstract This research targets persistency by introducing new features in Chatsistance, a persistent chat tool that employs speech act theory and an explicit referencing technique to structure the chat log, and by providing further options for retrieving information.

Although speech actswere previously used in the field of chat, it is the first time that this theory has been used for the purpose of enhancing persistency combined with an explicit referencing technique,which together provide awell-established structure that provides greater flexibility for the analysis of content.
