The usefulness of coding in the Victoria Climbié Data Corpus: a reply to Taylor.

The authors comment on Y. Taylor's discussion about analysing data while working on the Victoria Climbié Data Corpus Project. It cites the reasons why the authors were both pleased and somewhat perturbed to read Taylor's discussion. They claim that Taylor's reference to work using the VCDC is dated or missing. In their view, it is a gross misrepresentation of the process of qualitative analysis to see interpretative coding as the only valid way to approach data analysis.
