Aside from demonstrating Open Refine basics for those participants who are new to it I would be interested if you could demonstrate how it can be used with data that is not properly aligned, eg some data needs to be shift to the right a couple of columns.

I have a .csv file which will be the basis of what I show in Excel, but I’ve had problems getting it to upload properly in Open Refine. Once some of the data is uploaded doing operations on Open Refine take too long. I suspect my data is pushing the limits of Open Refine. Perhaps you could also mention what the limits of Open Refine are?

Happy to help out with the Open Refine part.

Intersect regularly gives a course covering many aspects of the tool – materials are available for anyone to use at www.intersect.org.au/course-resources (scroll about half way down the page). Happy to talk about clustering, faceting, calling into APIs, and other things covered in the course.

Cheers,
Luc
