Google Refine is a tool for working with messy data. It allows you to detect and fix inconsistencies in your data, transform your data from one structure to another, and provides a simple way to understand patterns in your data.   If you've ever faced the task of trying to harmonize names, ISBNs, or titles in a spreadsheet, Refine provides an appealing way of dealing with these common challenges.  In this hands-on class, we'll explore how Refine can help with common data cleaning challenges.
