OpenRefine is a powerful tool for working with 'messy' tabular data. With OpenRefine, you can clean, structure, transform and enrich spreadsheets and datasets. When you encounter problems or inconsistencies in a tabular file (e.g. Excel), OpenRefine is your Swiss army knife.

During this short online demonstration, you will discover the functionalities of OpenRefine and learn more about the uses, strengths and limitations of this tool. The demonstration will take approximately 20 minutes + 10 minutes for questions. The presentation will be in English, unless the attendees are all native Dutch speakers.

This online demo is the fourth in a series of five short introductions to digital humanities tools. See the workshop calendar for more details.
