You can make GREL even more powerful by learning how to use regular expressions (aka regex). A regular expression is a sequence of characters that define a search pattern – it is used to search for matches within text. In OpenRefine, you can use it in your GREL expressions to create sophisticated patterns describing what type of information you want to find within your dataset, then do something with the matching text (edit it, delete it, put it in a new column, etc.).This activity assumes you have already completed theSurvey of Household SpendingandCitizen Scienceactivities, have a familiarity with OpenRefine and know how to create simple GREL expressions. Before you begin, please download theOpenRefine workshop sample datasets, if you have not already. technique: - - Mapping - - Spatial Analysis + - Cleaning data tool: - - ArcGIS Pro - date: "2021-01-07" + - OpenRefine + date: "2019-04-01" series: MDL Tutorials type: Tutorial -- id: 128 - title: Logging into Digital Scholar Lab through the Catalog - url: https://mdl.library.utoronto.ca/technology/tutorials/logging-digital-scholar-lab-through-catalog - description: - Return to the main Gale Digital Scholar Lab tutorialThis short guide - provides instructions on how to log into theGale Digital Scholar Labvia the University - of Toronto institutional access. +- id: 142 + title: OpenRefine Tutorial 4. 311 Calls Activity + url: https://mdl.library.utoronto.ca/technology/tutorials/openrefine-tutorial-4-311-calls-activity + description: "This tutorial has been developed for OpenRefine version 3.7.5Update: please note that as of March 18, 2020, Open Data Toronto has suspended service and so their service is not available for API calls.
