What are our responsibilities to the interviewees/subjects when we break apart their narrative – how much freedom can we allow ourselves before intention and meaning are too altered?

Many thanks!

We are smack in the middle of a project that is working around these issues!

Breaking larger oral histories into smaller unit has many advantages: you can tag smaller units more accurately with geospatial data (I have not worked with Ohms, so I will be interested in what it can do), and you can leave out sections that might pose ethical issues such as privacy, and legal issues caused by libel and slander, which can occur in interviews. Thanks for the topic!
