Discourse Network Analyzer Description

Free software for qualitative category-based content analysis Discourse Network Analyzer is a Java-based application for qualitative category-based content analysis. Discourse Network Analyzer serves two purposes: coding statements of actors into categories, and converting these structured data into networks that are readable by UCINET, visone and other network-analytic software packages. Discourse Network Analyzer can extract either bipartite (affiliation) networks or adjacency networks.Discourse Network Analyzer is complementary to semantic network analysis applications because it neither relies on algorithms for automatic text processing, nor does it focus on the internal meaning or mental representation of a single text or document. Instead, tags are applied to the text data by manual inspection, thus rendering it more flexible, yet at the same time more work-intensive. DNA can be used to code a large body of text documents and then convert them into graphs. Requirements: · Java 1.6 or later What's New in This Release: · New feature: Attributes can be entered for persons and organizations. These attributes include the type of actor (including a color), an alias name or description, and additional notes. · New feature: CSV export facility for attributes of actors. · Improved: GraphML export (for visone) has been rewritten. It now includes colors, shapes and actor attributes. · Improved: The combo box for actor or category selection in a statement popup has been improved. Overwriting entries is more intuitive, and colors can be used to show the type of actor. · Improved: Exporting a list of all statements is now possible from the Export menu (used to be in the Network export window).
