Proximity matrix as excel file

Though Netsorting has some build in analysis tools, the editor may prefer to analyze the data with it's own statistical tools. She can therefore download the proximity matrix as an excel file.

I've just published on google docs an example of the proximity matrix of the card sorting.

download graphs as svg

Netsorting uses SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) to render the graphics of the cluster analysis of card sorting.

Now you can download the graphical representation of the kmeans analysis on the principal component analysis of the proximity matrix of the card sorting as a svg file.

Using Inkscape, a free open source vector graphics editor, you can edit the graph and export it as pdf, ps, png. Inkscape is available for Linux, Windows and Mac Os.

Here is an example of the clusters generated from the card sorting of the semantic domain of coffee (in Italian).

Working on the drag and drop version

In these days I'm working to implement the drag and drop version of the card sorting user interface.
I've made a first try some months ago, but the results weren't satisfactory.
Now I'm using the beautiful YUI as a framework for JavaScript and AJAX.

Thanks to it's Drag & Drop Utility a stylish and usable drag and drop interface seems easy to implement.

I'll update this post when the new interface will be terminated.

Welcome

This is the blog of Netsorting.
Here I will post some news concerning the application, it's development, it's new features and so on.
