Advanced Cleaning of Text Data with OpenRefine

Do you want to learn more about the different features in OpenRefine to work with text data? Participants will get a brief introduction to features such as transforming columns using GREL, searching strings with regex, and adding data through reconciliation. This workshop will walk through an example tabular dataset demonstrating these features with structured text.

Expected prior knowledge: Familiar with OpenRefine, Familiar with using spreadsheets

Our policy is that we do not record live workshops in order to encourage robust Q&A. However, you can always find the full workshop materials for all of our workshops at: https://library.virginia.edu/data/training/past-workshops which allows you to work through the material at your own pace. We also encourage you to reach out to the instructor at any time for a one-on-one consult, and for specific or general questions about any of the topics we cover.
