Final reminder for any researchers interested in qualitative data analysis
software:
The next CAQDAS NETWORKING PROJECT Seminar
(free to all comers) is taking place on 6 September 2001 at University of
Surrey
when Thomas Muhr, developer of ATLAS.ti will present
"ATLAS.ti 5.0 - a preview of essentials"
New tools and enhancements to be covered in the presentation and discussion:
*Editing Primary Documents.
Providing a sophisticated technique which allows the "live" editing of
SHARED
and distributed documents for team requirements. All dependent projects
("HUs") referring to a primary document are automatically synchronized after
modifications of the latter.
*Working with "really rich" documents: text with formulas and tables, code
Powerpoint slides and Excel workspaces, hyperlink chat rooms and comment web
sites.
*What XML can do for you. In professional contexts standards are mandatory.
We decided to provide an open data interface through the eXtensible Markup
Language for many of the informational units of an ATLAS.ti project. This is
the basis for easy transfer of the work done into or from other professional
systems. It is also a "tool-gate" to let users specify their own report
formats.
*Super Families. Families can now be combined using the same concept and
similar tool as for super codes.
*ATLAS.ti as a content analysis tool: the WordCruncher revisited.
*Searching through everything with the Object Crawler.
*SPSS export improved.
*New looks with a familiar touch: improved GUI but not too fancy. Extralists
with type-ahead search, relocatable coolbars, unified margin for text and
images.
*Visualization: Semantic node coloring.
*Smart Upgrade ...etc
======================================
