Salon D/E

Conference Track

8. Emerging Technologies & Trends

Keywords

OpenRefine, metadata management

Learning Objectives

Following this session, participants will be able to apply basic OpenRefine functionality to metadata problems at their workplace, identify where to go to learn more advanced features, and assess the use of OpenRefine in their own projects based on the examples presented by the panelists.

Abstract

Our resource management tools demand authoritative, normalized data, yet the metadata we work with rarely cooperates. But help exists! Learn how three librarians are using OpenRefine, a free data transformation tool, in their institutional repositories, catalogs, and the Global Open Knowledgebase and be inspired to tackle your institution's metadata mess.
