description: OpenRefine is a desktop application that uses your web browser as a graphical interface. It is described as “a power tool for working with messy data”. OpenRefine is most useful where you have data in a simple tabular format such as a spreadsheet, a comma separated values file (csv) or a tab delimited file (tsv) but with internal inconsistencies either in data formats, or where data appears, or in terminology used. OpenRefine can be used to standardize and clean data across your file, as well as performing more complex operations including entity reconciliation against external APIs.
