Abstract

this paper presents a system aimed to be entirely located in the Internet. The database, server side, logic and user interface are accessible regardless the location and equipment of the working team members. The system supports qualitative analysis of large datasets, and the work can be distributed among several team members or teams. A modified mixed method for developing software projects is used, according to the peculiarities of our case, splitting the phase of code writing into two sub-phases each with different number of iterations.

Highlights

  • The ability to gather capacious information on various issues results on one hand results in more accurate and complete data, but on the other needs a relatively easy and convenient way to categorize, evaluate and extract most precise results from the data

  • The existence of a software system for organization of qualitative data analysis is of tremendous help to the team1s involved in qualitative research

  • Some authors emphasize on the research purpose and focus: qualitative researchers are interested in understanding the meaning people have constructed, that is, how people make sense of their world and the experiences they have in the world [2]
