Data analysis management is a methodology to assist the analyst in tracking the events of data analysis by allowing the analyst to designate milestones of the analysis, which we call ''save-states''. A prototype data analysis management system, which is described in this paper, includes capabilities to graphically depict the course of the analysis, the ability to return to previous save-states, the ability to use segments of the log that describe the course of the analysis, and the ability to associate both written and spoken documentation with the analysis. 6 refs., 3 figs.
