  abstract  = {Claims are the building blocks of arguments and the reasons underpinning
	opinions, thus analyzing claims is important for both argumentation mining and
	opinion mining. We propose a framework for representing claims as
	microstructures, which express the beliefs, judgments, and policies about the
	relations between domain-specific concepts. In a proof-of-concept study, we
	manually build microstructures for over 800 claims extracted from an online
	debate. We test the so-obtained microstructures on the task of claim stance
	classification, achieving considerable improvements over text-based baselines.
