  abstract  = {Web debates play an important role in enabling broad participation of
	constituencies in social, political and economic decision-taking. However, it
	is challenging to organize, structure, and navigate a vast number of diverse
	argumentations and comments collected from many participants over a long time
	period. In this paper we demonstrate Common Round, a next generation platform
	for large-scale web debates, which provides functions for eliciting the
	semantic content and structures from the contributions of participants. In
	particular, Common Round applies language technologies for the extraction of
	semantic essence from textual input, aggregation of the formulated opinions and
	arguments. The platform also provides a cross-lingual access to debates using
	machine translation.},
