there’s @alberto’s conversation on github from 2 years ago about the OpenEthnographer project: Architectural choice: decide whether codes should have an author or not · Issue #60 · edgeryders/openethnographer-for-drupal · GitHub
In that theres a discussion about “the vision of ethnography as a collaborative research methodology”
More recently theres the discussion in this thread Open Notebook Science for Ethnographic Coding: Open Codebooks about the idea of ‘open code books’ allowing for multiple ethnographers to share the same reference hierarchies
I’m sure others in this thread may be able to point to other examples of the evolution of this discussion
