Example documentHope everyone is having a good week. :-)
I have been working on paring down Defines.h for awhile now. Jason and I discussed it several months ago, and I only just got around to it. What I did was break out everything that was in only one file. These are things that shouldn’t have been put in Defines.h to begin with.
It looks like I changed 28 files. The changes should be simply cosmetic and shouldn’t affect functionality. However, since this is such a large change, I wanted to run the changes by everyone before I did something stupid that would have to be backed out. And so, I give you, the Ginormous Diff From Hell[TM], and the binary that goes along with it: http://www.kocharhook.com/nick/fire/diff.html Take a look at the diff, maybe try out some of the changes in the binary. Let me know if you see anything amiss. If I get no comments, I’m going to check this in tomorrow.-- Nick Kocharhook -- <avpx@xb...> -- Rot-13

Nature of evidence
Surface text (e.g., use of words of different categories)
Evidence is in the text; coders just record it
Pattern of content (e.g., phrases representing concepts)
Coders must recognize evidence
Meaning underlying the text (e.g., hermeneutic reading)
Meaning comes from interaction of person and text
Manifest Latent Projective

Lots of variations on content analysisDeductive vs. inductive vs. mixed codingManifest vs. pattern vs. latent codesDifferent units of codingDifferent overall research strategies
Content analysts face issues of reliability and validity
