Evaluating QualiCO: an ontology to facilitate qualitative methods sharing to support open science

Abstract Qualitative science methods have largely been omitted from discussions of open science. Platforms focused on qualitative that support data and method sharing are rare. Sharing exchanging coding schemas has great potential for supporting traceability in research as well facilitating the reuse schemas. In this study, we present evaluate QualiCO, an ontology to describe Twenty researchers used QualiCO complete two tasks. our findings, task performance interview focus participants’ attention ontology. Participants tasks, decreasing time task, while improving accuracy, signifying enabled Our discussion elaborates some issues participants had highlights how conceptual prior practice frames their interpretation can be used.
