OpenRefine is a open source computer application for data cleaning and transformation. If you need to wrangle data, OpenRefine can help you:

• Get an overview of a data set
• Resolve inconsistencies
• Help you split data up into more granular parts
• Match local data up to other data sets
• Enhance a data set with data from other sources

Part 1 of this 2 part workshop will introduce the basics of OpenRefine, and part 2 will look at more advanced features.
