* Tuesday Dec. 7 2021: '''OpenRefine tutoral''' with Lucas Werkmeister. Feeding spreadsheet information into FactGrid is one of the standard challenges you might have encountered - a challenge since any such data must be "cleaned" and "reconciled" first. The tool to facilitate this work is OpenRefine. Lucas Werkmeister has prepared FactGrid for the interaction with OpenRefine and he will give an online tutorial on this this Tuesday 21:30 European Time. The session will also be recorded ([https://database.factgrid.de/resources/OpenRefine-2021-12-07.mp4 recording]). See [[Help:How do I use OpenRefine on FactGrid?]] if you want to download and use OpenRefine on your computer. | * Tuesday Dec. 7 2021: '''OpenRefine tutoral''' with Lucas Werkmeister.
