Description

Cleaning & Exploring your data with Open Refine

Note: You will need to bring your own laptop to this course.

Cost: Free to Researchers and PhD students at Intersect's member Universities

This three hour workshop introduces Open Refine which is a powerful tool for cleaning, normalisation and exploration of datasets.

In this tutorial we'll work through the various features of Refine, including importing data, faceting, clustering, and calling into remote APIs, by working on a fictional but plausible research project.

We’ll start with a research question in mind and use the features of Refine to gain insights and find answers.
