Grounded Theory - extracting meaning from text.
http://www.bell-labs.com/user/cope/SCI2000Arch.html
This piece discusses architecting, using
GroundedTheory,
AxialCoding and
SelectiveCoding.
The purpose of the investigation was to look for linkages between the categories (which is axial coding in grounded theory), to further flesh out each category, and to work towards a theory of architecture (which is done in a grounded theory exercise called selective coding).
I think there would be real benefit building a plugin to facilitate the use of Grounded Theory process.
