Cleaning up your messy data: an introduction to OpenRefine

Description

Dr Anne Alexander (Cambridge Digital Humanities) & Huw Jones (Cambridge Digital Library and CDH)
This CDH Basics session explores how data which you have captured rather than created yourself, is likely to need cleaning up before you can use it effectively. This short session will introduce you to the basic principles of creating structured datasets and walk through some case studies in data cleaning with OpenRefine, a powerful open source tool for working with messy data.
CDH Basics sessions are open to staff and graduate students who want to learn and apply digital methods and use digital tools in their research.
