Cleaning Your Data with OpenRefine

Rockefeller Library, Digital Studio Seminar Room (Rock 160)
OpenRefine is an powerful open source tool for quickly cleaning up textual and numeric tabular data. It can be a lifesaver for scholars who need to work with data and metadata from scholarly databases, archives, and other sources and who want to manipulate formats and discover inconsistencies. This hands-on course is primarily aimed at social scientists and humanists, but all are welcome. Some familiarity with regular expressions (pattern matching syntax) will be helpful.
