Introduction to OpenRefine


Importing Data and Getting to Know the OpenRefine User Interface


Instructor Note

If you have a non-English-speaking audience, you can point out the option to change the language of the user interface. However, this is not advisable for the workshop itself, as the explanations were written for the English user interface and it could otherwise be very confusing for the instructor and the audience.

We will not be looking at extensions in this lesson, but they offer the possibility to customize OpenRefine in even greater detail and expand it with additional functions. Provide the link to the OpenRefine extensions page if participants are interested in additional functionality.



Instructor Note

The row/record distinction will be shown in the next chapter. For now, you can treat one row as one record.
