Code frames give organization to unstructured data or OE responses. For example, if the unstructured responses are ‘all the song titles you can think of’, the code frame could organize mentions by band, by genre, by mentions of colors, or by any other organization scheme that makes sense for the study. The code frame can be as general or specific as needed, and specific groupings can be nested under more general topics (like, “Colors” can have specific sub-groups for green, blue, red, yellow, etc., so you can look at colors individually or as an overall group).
