Data Cleaning and Reconciliation with OpenRefine 

OpenRefine is a free and easy-to-learn tool for changing and augmenting data. It has many uses, including cleaning and reconciling structured data (e.g., spreadsheets) in preparation for creating Linked Open Data (LOD). This workshop will provide a hands-on introduction to OpenRefine. Using sample data provided in the workshops, participants will be taught how to clean and reconcile. You do not need to have your own structured data to participate.

This workshop is suitable for anyone who is either new to OpenRefine or who is new to using it for cleaning, reconciling, and augmenting structured data. It is especially recommended for anyone who is interested in creating LOD with LINCS and would like a taster of the preliminary steps in the process.
