Complementarity |
Interpreting insights from a quantitative analysis of onlife traces by situating these insights qualitatively in the everyday environments that they claim to reflect. |
Single-level analysis |
Tracing how quantitative patterns on the macro level emerge directly from qualitatively rich interactions on the micro level, demonstrating how onlife traces simultaneously embody both qualitative richness and quantifiability. |
Curation |
Critically reappropriating (and thus manually curating) onlife traces to speak on behalf of certain phenomena or address certain questions. |
Algorithmic sensemaking |
Attempting to reveal emic modes of ordering the world through quantitative techniques, for example pattern recognition. |
