Import files with codes #288

Closed henrik-milla closed 1 year ago

henrik-milla commented 1 year ago

Hi Philipp, I was wondering if it was possible to import files that are already annotated with codes (e.g. from MAXQDA) into your DNA software? Since we already did a framing analysis with the articles that we would like to use for the DNA, we already have done all of the codes in another software and hope to avoid having to do it again in your software in order to do the DNA. Thank you so much for your work on this! Best, Henrik

You could try to find a way to read your data into R and then use the rDNA package (version 2) to transfer the data into DNA. But I don't know what the data format in MaxQDA looks like and can't comment on how you could get it into R.

There is no direct import. But if you have some Java skills or want to send me somebody with Java skills, I'm happy to provide instructions on how to write an extension for DNA to import from MaxQDA.
