OpenRefine Workshops
LINCS recommends OpenRefine for researchers who want to clean and reconcile structured data (e.g., spreadsheets) in preparation for creating Linked Open Data (LOD). OpenRefine is free and easy to learn, and it is a powerful tool for changing and augmenting data.
LINCS offers many opportunities for learning OpenRefine.
To participate in a workshop, you must have the most recent version of OpenRefine installed and need to download some sample files to work with. Check out the OpenRefine workshops materials page for instructions.
