Event: Data Cleaning with OpenRefine

Deidre Whitmore, Digital Archaeology Lab
Thursday, August 6th 2020 10:00am - 12:00pm (PT)

Data are messy. Nearly all datasets require cleaning and processing before they can be analyzed and interpreted. This workshop will cover how to use the free, open-source tool OpenRefine to more quickly and easily understand and clean your data. Participants will learn how to correct typos and misspellings, standardize terms and dates, and break complex data into usable formats. We will also cover how to share your data and cleaning steps with collaborators and export a script that details the steps taken which can be applied to future datasets.
