Research professionals all over the world have come to
rely on ATLAS.ti to help them with their research projects–especially
when their data includes more than only text, i.e. images, audio, and video
material. ATLAS.ti offers sophisticated tools to manage, extract, compare, explore, and reassemble meaningful segments of large amounts of data in flexible and creative, yet systematic ways.
The Hermeneutic Unit (HU) is perhaps the single most important concept for ATLAS.ti. Once you grasp the HU concept, you understand almost everything that is necessary to work with ATLAS.ti! And, luckily (and in spite of its impressive name!), it is extremely simple and very practical to use.
ATLAS.ti's four predominant strategic modes of operation are encapsulated in the acronym "VISE":
Visualization
The visualization component of the program means directly supports the way human beings (this includes researchers!) think, plan, and approach solutions in creative, yet systematic ways.
The object-oriented design of ATLAS.ti seeks to keep the necessary operations close to the data to which they are applied. The visual approach of the interface keeps you focused on the data, and quite often the functions you need are just a few mouse clicks away.
Integration
Another fundamental design aspect of the software is to integrate all pieces that comprise a project, in order not to lose sight of the whole when going into detail. Therefore, all relevant entities are stored in a container, the so-called "Hermeneutic Unit (HU).” Like the spider in its web, the HU keeps all data within reach. Loading a project with hundreds of files is merely a matter of opening a single HU.
Rich Text documents including Excel™, PowerPoint™, and other “embedded objects” can now be analyzed as easy as plain text was in the earlier versions of ATLAS.ti.
Serendipity
The term "serendipity" can be equated with an intuitive approach to data. A typical operation relying on the serendipity effect is "browsing". This information-seeking method is a genuine human activity. Examples of tools and procedures ATLAS.ti offers for exploiting the concept of serendipity are the Object Managers, the Object Explorer, the interactive margin area, full text search, and the hypertext functionality.
Exploration
Through an exploratory, yet systematic approach to your data (as opposed to a mere "bureaucratic" handling), it is assumed that especially constructive activities like theory building will be of great benefit. The entire program’s concept, including the process of getting acquainted with its particular idiosyncrasies, is particularly conducive to an exploratory, discovery-oriented approach.
