Understanding the structures of political debates (which actors make
what claims) is essential for understanding democratic political
decision-making. The vision of computational construction of such
discourse networks from newspaper reports brings together
political science and natural language processing. This paper
presents three contributions towards this goal: (a) a requirements
analysis, linking the task to knowledge base population;
(b) a first release of an annotated corpus of
claims on the topic of migration, based on German newspaper reports; (c) initial modeling results.
