o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o All --
I've been trying to keep up with what's going on in the Forums, at least, what hasn't sunk beneath the "10 Most Recent" window while I go for a cup of coffee, but I haven't found that to be the best place for considered discussion, so maybe I'll try to respond on list when there is some especially compelling issue. Incidentally, a long time interest in qualitative research methods, and especially "discourse analysis", led me to think about methods of content analysis and policy analysis that might be useful in building a Discussion Archive for Citizendium, but that would require a collaboration with tech folk, and they probably have more pressing business on their hands right now. Anyway, here's a mock up of a "first pass digest" that I made for the relevant thread in the forum: http://www.textop.org/wiki/index.php?title=Grounded_Research_And_Verifiable_Information A chronological digest like that would form the raw data for higher levels of logical and semantic content analysis. I also found that the "print format" provided by the forum software is very useful for keeping up with your favorite threads, for example: http://textop.org/smf/index.php?action=printpage;topic=13.0 But I really opened this window to comment on the most recent post of that thread: | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Title: Re: Grounded Research And Verifiable Information (GRAVI) | Post by: djafar4 on October 18, 2006, 05:19:23 AM | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | A way to present information is to clearly separate facts from their interpretation. | Anyone has the right to expose an information but should be aware of his subjectivity. | A change in the police color could inform the reader, may be with the help of expert | (editor?). I think that the questions of separating fact from interpretation -- Can we really do that? If so, how far can we really do that? -- are worth our continuing consideration as we think about the topic of sourcing research and the policies that bear on it. More to the point: How are these questions currently handled by the professions that face them on a day-to-day basis?
