FieldWorks Data Notebook
Current version: 2.8, released December 2007
The FieldWorks Data Notebook was developed primarily as a data management tool for language and cultural fieldwork. It can be used for other data collection tasks, as well.
As a field-notes tool, it helps language workers document, categorize, retrieve, analyze, and summarize conclusions about their field notes. It helps them gain insights from anthropological field notes so they can better
- live and work appropriately in a different cultural community,
- help with literacy and educational development as language attitudes, social patterns, and annual cycles of community are documented, and
- help with translation as cultural concepts and terminology are documented.
