SUMMARY:Data Cleaning with OpenRefine
DESCRIPTION:Please\, check out other Fun Data Friday events.\n\n\n	\n	What: 
 Learn to clean unstructured spreadsheets quickly to make the most of your 
 data. This workshop will quickly allow you to aggregate many cells into 
 one\, transpose data from columns to rows\, and more.  \n	\n\n\n\n	\n	Why: 
 Having data is great. Knowing how to maximize the use of your data is 
 better. In order to get the most of your data\, you will need to harness 
 Tidy Data pracitces. OpenRefine will assist in formatting and removing the 
 inconsistencies in your data to improve your data visualizations and 
 reports. \n	\n\n\n\n	\n	Software: In this workshop\, we will be using 
 OpenRefine\, a free\, open-source Java application that uses your web 
 browser as a graphical interface. It is described as “a power tool for 
 working with messy data” (David Huynh). You can get OpenRefine at 
 https://openrefine.org/download.html for Windows\, macOS\, and Linux. 
 \n	\n\n\n\n	\n	Who: This workshop is designed for individuals interested in 
 understanding data cleaning practices: Humanities\, Business\, or Sciences. 
 An understanding of spreadsheets would be helpful for this workshop. 
 \n	\n\n\n\n	\n	How: This is a 2 hour in-person workshop\, consisting of a 
 short lecture and then a series of demonstrations\, which you can follow 
 along with or just watch\, interspersed with activities we will complete 
 together and discuss. There are no breaks. \n	\n\n\n\n	\n	Where: This 
 workshop will be held in The BRIDGE Data Lab \n	\n\n\n\n	\n	When: Friday\, 
 January 31\, 3-5:00pm. \n	\n\n\n\n	\n	Code of Conduct: The Fun Data Friday 
 workshops are a welcoming and inclusive environment for learning. To learn 
 more\, check out our Code of Conduct. \n	\n\n\n\n	\n	Accessibility: The 
 UTSC Library is committed to making our workshops accessible to everyone.
