Subject: CAQDAS Project free seminar programme: NEXT
> Next seminar to be held by the CAQDAS Networking Project will be on
> 6 September 2001 when we are glad to announce that Thomas Muhr developer
of
> ATLAS.ti: will present the following:
>
> ATLAS.ti 5.0 - a preview of essentials : his abstract follows
> =======================================
>
> *Editing Primary Documents. ATLAS.ti's long term dedication to strong team
> support and large projects ruled out a naive solution like the editing of
> documents exclusively assigned to a single project. Our ambition was to
> provide 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. This solution differs grossly from editing
> "live" but solitaire documents. (These aspects will be discussed and
> explained further on qual-software shortly)
>
> *Working with "really rich" documents: text with formulas and tables, code
> Powerpoint slides and Excel workspaces, hyperlink chat rooms and comment
web
> sites. In addition, embedded hot web links in documents let you organize
> "bookmarks" as professionally as you can manage any "quotation" in a HU.
> Click on a super code and retrieve 2 video clips, 3 text passages, 8
> PowerPoint transparencies and an Excel table. With a click into this table
> you can "in-place"-edit and recalculate it on the fly.
>
> *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. Negated families, as well as arbitrarily
> complex expressions provide another strong tool for organizing a project
and
> testing hypotheses.We will also touch the following issues:
>
> *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
>
>
> PROVISIONAL TIMING OF THE SEMINAR:
> START TIME 11.00 FOR 11.30 START (coffee will be served before start)
> FINISH TIME 3.30.

> VENUE: UNIVERSITY OF SURREY, GUILDFORD.
