Documents being one of the essential ingredients, an essential aspect of AmCAT is the storing, viewing, and managing of documents from various sources. The data are stored in a standard database, to which every user has access for his/her own projects. The source code for the scripts and website are open source, so everyone is free to setup his/her own server. The system is designed to make it easy to integrate new analyses, through the website, web services, or through direct access. AmCAT is designed as an open system, herewith encouraging users to contribute to AmCAT.

| + | The heart of the AmCAT system is a database containing the documents, codings, and other data. To manipulate these data, AmCAT contains a number of ‘scripts’ or small programs to create projects, conduct frequency analyses, and perform Natural Language (pre-)Processing. In order to make the data and these scripts more accessible, an Intranet website was created: the AmCAT Navigator. You will use the AmCAT Navigator to conduct content analysis. | ||
