Introduction to OpenRefine - Skillshare

This video was created for a Digital Humanities course at Pratt Institute's School of Information and is an introduction to OpenRefine, an open source data cleaning and manipulation software. I will introduce you to the software, show you how to allocate more memory, and add a statistics extension. The bulk of the video has to do with using basic features of OpenRefine; I will guide you through the features using a public humanities dataset from NYPL's What's on the Menu? crowdsourcing project. Please feel free to jump around to different sections of the video based on your interests. How to download: 0:54-1:44 Dataset: 1:45-5:35 Allocating more memory: 5:36-7:47 Using basic features: 7:28-26:16 Adding stats extension: 26:17-27:22 Ultimately, I hope this video acts as a springboard for learning more about OpenRefine and pursuing DH projects.
