Three Innovative Research Tools to Store, Visualize, and Analyze Data in and from the Field

Giovanni Bennardo

Kurt Schultz

Northern Illinois University

In this article, the authors describe three research tools that have been prepared to store, visualize, and analyze data in and from the field. These tools are intended to be used for a research that investigates a hypothesized cultural model in Tonga, Polynesia. The three tools are (1) the Digitized Tonga database, (2) the interactive 3-D display of the island of Vava’u and the village of Houma, and (3) the Synchronized Media and Visualization Analysis Tool (SMVAT). A detailed description of the genesis of the tools is provided. Two brief examples illustrate how these tools can be used and the types of innovative analyses they allow.

Key Words: cognitive anthropology • ethnographic database • computer imaging • social network analysis • language and vision
