Although the official page: (currently redirecting to here ) lists more technical details of the aim and format of the exchange initiative, it’s a necessarily technical. It is hoped that by early next year, the full standard will be complete and released, allowing for much more complete projects (including text and multimedia sources and coding) to be exchanged between whatever software package you like. However, this is really the tip of the iceberg. This is already pretty useful if you have developed a long, or standardised coding framework for analysis, and want to use it in another project in a different qualitative analysis software package. the list of codes/nodes/themes/Quirks that you use in your project. This work has been almost two years in the making already, and so far the first part of the standard was announced last week – a ‘codebook’ exchange file, which lets users share their coding framework, i.e. ![]() The initiative is also supported by Dedoose and MAXQDA, which means that all the major qualitative data analysis software ( QDAS) providers have agreed to support a standard that will allow researchers to bring data across any existing QDAS platform. ![]() Last week, a group of software developers from ATLAS.ti, f4analyse, Nvivo (QSR), Transana, QDA Miner (Provalis) and Quirkos were in Montreal for the third international meeting on the creation of a common file format for exchanging qualitative data projects.
