title: TACIT PROCESSES: Qualitative Analysis Toward Bottom-Up Emulation Workflows
creators: Eric Kaltman Adam Larson
abstract: This paper describes the use of a modification of qualitative grounded theory to analyze in-situ preservation workflows involving emulation techniques. The goal of this in-process work is to identify and delineate common tasks across the emulation of different classes of software objects through a unique approach based in bottom-up qualitative observation.
