OpenRefine (version 2.5). http:// openrefine.org. free, open-source tool for cleaning and transforming data

摘要

In recent years, the proliferation of open source data has been a boon to librarians who serve multidisciplinary research communities in academic and other settings. However, this type of data is often not readily usable because of errors, inconsistencies, problems with data entry methods, or file format incompatibilities.

Enter OpenRefine (previously, Google Refine), a free, open source tool for turning messy data into usable, clean data 1, 2.
