Introduction to data wrangling with OpenRefine (June 27th, 2024)
241_INF23
In our workshop „Data wrangling with OpenRefine“ you will learn the basics of preparing and transforming tabular data with the open source software . OpenRefine
OpenRefine provides functions to identify and correct inconsistencies in large amounts of data under a graphical user interface that outwardly resembles spreadsheet software.
For example, it is possible to combine slightly different spellings of a name in different entries (e.g. TU Darmstadt and TU_Darmstadt) by clustering and then label them uniformly. Such data preparation often makes later analysis of the data much easier.
- How do I create a project and import data?
- How do I use facet, filter and cluster functions?
- How do I transform data? (e.g. splitting cell contents)
- How do I export data?
You will get answers to these questions in the workshop and can apply your new knowledge directly to a sample dataset.
Please set up OpenRefine on your computer before the workshop starts.
Instructions can be found (current documents available 7 days before the workshop). here
