    • Conatact sheet: contains data of contact, key concepts, link
    • Interim case analysis form: summary, explanations, disagreements, coding status
  • Coding concept; example of codes

    • summarize
    • action process

    • pattern in data (similarity, frequency, sequence, causation, correspondence)
    • multiple codes possibly to one text
    • people and organisation, activity, location, time
