Dissemination, an important phase of scientific research, can be seen as a communication process between scientists. They expose and support their findings, while discussing claims stated in related scientific publications. However, due to the increasing number of publications, finding a starting point for such a discussion represents a real challenge. At same time, browsing can also be difficult since the communication spans across multiple publications on the open web. In this paper we propose a semantic claim federation infrastructure, named KonneX-SALT, as a solution for both issues mentioned above: (i) finding claims in scientific publications, and (ii) building the argumentation discourse network (ADN) for each claim and providing support for browsing it (in our case, by making use of transclusion). In addition, we join the web of "linked open data", by linking the metadata managed by KonneX-SALT with some of the known repositories of scientific publications.
