An Interactive Working Tool for Qualitative Text Analysis

In order to address the increasing needs of qualitative studies in numerous domains, a working tool is proposed in this paper. The research was motivated by the deficiencies of semantic analysis and interoperability found in industrial products widely used. Our tool is designed to be dynamic and flexible and allows the annotation of original documents. It provides analytical mechanisms for acquired knowledge while offering reasonable interactivity, reusability and portability. Currently it is being used by the research teams working on environmental studies. Based on real studies we can conclude that it integrates well with business processes and leads to very satisfactory results.
