This session introduces working with data in OpenRefine. You will learn what the OpenRefine software does and how to use it to work with data files. OpenRefine can be used to standardize and clean data in a file. OpenRefine is useful where you have data in a simple delimited format such as a spreadsheet, a comma separated values file (csv), or a tab delimited file (tsv), but with internal inconsistencies either in data formats, where data appears, or in the terminology used.
Objectives
Please bring your own laptop. You will need to install OpenRefine and download the data file doaj-article-sample.csv to follow the lesson in this session.
OpenRefine does not support Internet Explorer or Edge. For this session please use Firefox, Chrome or Safari instead. See Setup for more information. If you’d like help to address difficulties you encounter with setup, please contact cds@nd.edu.
