Developed by Professor Du Jinbang, the Discourse Information Software contains Normal Module and Tagging Ware Module.

The Normal Module can record the background information of a legal discourse, including title, kernel proposition, time, location, participants, and etc (see figure 1).

Figure 1

The Tagging Ware Module can be used to tag a discourse with the 15 types of discourse information units (see Figure 2).

After the tagging, an XML (Extensible Markup Language) document type is generated for further research.
