回复: BFSU Qualitative Coder 1.1 质性数据机助标注工具
You need to have a hierarchical coding scheme in the first place. In your actual coding, what you code is the lowest node of the 'node tree' in your system. For example, [GRA-WORD1] can be used to code type 1 word ([WORD1]) in the system of a grammar (GRA) of a certain language. That is, the hierarchy of the coding system is realized by a two part code name. The hyphenated code can be extended if you wish to accommodate a tree system of your conceptual system. This is a linear way to represent a hierarchical conceptual system, which should work. Such coding has been implemented in a couple of studies already.
Besides, the Qualitative Coder can stand multiple layers of embedding.
