Adding meta-level information to the arguments in the form of labels extends the representational capabilities of an argumentation formalism, expanding its capabilities. Labels allow the representation of different features: skill, reliability, strength, time availability, or any other that might be related to arguments; then, this information can be used to determine the strength of an argument and assist in the process of determining argument's acceptability. We have developed a framework called Labeled Argumentation Framework (LAF) based in the Argument Interchange Format (AIF), integrating the handling of labels; thus, labels associated with arguments will be combined and propagated according to argument interactions, such as support, conflict, and aggregation. Through this process, we will establish argument acceptability, where the final labels propagated to the acceptable arguments provide additional acceptability information, such as degree of justification, or explanation, among others.
