Tools to support the organization and manipulation of data include facilities for categorization, theme-based analysis, and quantitive analysis. These typically provide facilities to associate labels (categories, themes and so on) with sections of data, search the data for key words or phrases, investigate the relationships between different themes or categories and help to develop the coding scheme further. Some tools can generate graphical representations.
