[Air-L] Data sharing and collaboration in qualitative research

[Jankowski]

Dan:

You might find the following JCMC article relevant:

Carlson, S., and Anderson, B. (2007). What are data? The many kinds 
of data and their implications for data re-use. Journal of 
Computer-Mediated Communication, 12(2), article 15. 
<http://jcmc.indiana.edu/vol12/issue2/carlson.html>http://jcmc.indiana.edu/vol12/issue2/carlson.html 


Some of the other contributions to that issue of JCMC also relate to 
(qualitative) data sharing and collaboration.
