The Evidence Pattern defines four Viewpoints for the definition of Evidence-Argument-Claim chains. The Claim Definition Viewpoint allows Claims to be defined for a particular Subject to show who made the Claims. The Argument Viewpoint allows the Arguments that support a Claim to be identified. The Evidence Viewpoint allows any supporting Evidence that reinforces Arguments to be identified. Finally, the Counter-Claim Viewpoint allows Counter-Claims (or supporting Claims) to be made about any type of Claimable Item.
