Figure 12.7 Retrieving chronological links in the Claire Memling story MAKING CONNECTIONS 193 We can look for connections between categories on the basis of hunches and hypotheses which have emerged from our analysis so far. Or we can explore the databits using links, to look for evidence of possible connections. When browsing through the linked databits, we can look at how they have been categorized. Can we detect any emerging patterns in how linked databits have been categorized? For example, suppose we search causal links between databits. Do we find that most of the ‘cause’ databits have been assigned to a common category or categories? Do we find that most of the ‘consequence’ databits also share a common category or categories? Then we have evidence suggesting a possible connection between these categories.
194 QUALITATIVE DATA ANALYSIS Figure 12.8 Vincent’s explanations linked to chronology of events in the Claire Memling story We can also use retrieval procedures in an exploratory way to identify possible connections between categories. If we retrieve the information about which categories have been assigned to linked databits, we can use this to identify possible connections between categories. If ‘Z’ is our link then this involves retrieving all the databits linked by ‘Z’: Retrieve all ‘Z’ links (and look at the variation in categories)
