Summary/Abstract: This article presents two methods of digitisation, digital data processing and digitallocalisation applied in field ethnography. The Atlas.ti tool was used as an exampleof analyses of digitised textual, numerical, audio and visual data for subsequent co-ding in programmes (CAQDAS). The authors focus on coding and the creation of co-ding sheets. Through the examples from research conducted in the Northern Malo-hont region, they present the possibilities and limits of the use of coding incomputer interfaces. The links between ethnographic findings and field localisationare presented through the application of geographical information systems (GIS).Cultural configurations and diffusions are illustrated at precise geographic locationsof the region being explored. Many of the current limitations in the disseminationof these techniques can be overcome by a wider use of digital technologies, the crea-tion of common digital ethnographic databases and by projects suppo
