请教！

as a discovery claim works its way though the community, the interaction and confrontation between shared and competing beliefs abouts the science and the technology involved transforms an individual's discovery claim into the community's credible discovery.
请教大家 abouts the science and the technology involved 这里的involved是形容词还是非谓语动词
练习切句子的时候把involved当动词了 后来看了解释才知道transforms是动词
