Data Wrangling Using Open Refine

Data Wrangling Using Open Refine

Principal speaker

Sharron Stapleton

Data wrangling prepares raw or messy data and transforms or maps it into a structured and organised format to enable processing and analysis.
If you have messy data or spend too much time manually manipulating your data before analysis or visualization tools can read it, this hands-on workshop is for you.
In this workshop we use Open Refine, an open source data wrangling tool which you can use to scrutinize, clean, organise, combine and transform data. It is particularly powerful when working with large datasets. The tool automatically tracks changes made to the data, producing a script to enable reproducibility and documentation to provide verification. Many people comment that this tool saves them months of work trying to edit and clean by hand.
This workshop is aimed at researchers and HDRs working with qualitative data. You don't need to have any previous knowledge of Open Refine.
Requirement: bring your own laptop.
