WikidataCon 2021

OpenRefine tutorial

OpenRefine (previously Google Refine) is a powerful tool for working with messy data: cleaning it; transforming it from one format into another; and extending it with web services and external data.
This tutorial introduces the basic functionalities of OpenRefine, with a focus on Wikidata reconciliation and (batch) editing.

What will the participants take away from this session?

After the tutorial, participants will be able to autonomously use OpenRefine for batch Wikidata editing! Unleashing the power of data cleaning and batch editing for non-coders!
