This three hour workshop introduces Open Refine which is a powerful tool for cleaning, normalisation and exploration of datasets.
In this tutorial we’ll work through the various features of Refine, including importing data, faceting, clustering, and calling into remote APIs, by working on a fictional but plausible humanities research project.
We’ll start with a research question in mind and use the features of Refine to gain insights and find answers. The research question relates to NSW police stations — finding out what we can about where they are located, their heritage status, and the kinds of archival records State Records NSW holds on them.
Data Visualisation with Google Fusion Tables
Dates: 10 November 2015
Time: 1:30pm – 4:30pm
Location: ITD Computer Training Room (C34_2.49), UNE, Armidale

Google Fusion Tables is an experimental data visualization web application to gather, visualize, and share larger data tables.
In this tutorial we’ll work through the various features of Fusion Tables, including importing, sorting and merging data and creating heat maps, by working on a fictional but plausible social science research project.
We’ll start with a research question in mind and use the features of Google Fusion Tables to gain insights and find answers.
The research question relates to NSW crime statistics in relation to NSW Local Government Areas (LGA’s) — finding out what we can about where crimes occur, how this has changed over time, the LGA’s where most/least crimes occur and the types of crimes that occur in each LGA.
These and other courses would be presented on campus on a regular basis in future. For further information about Intersect’s L&D Program, please refer to http://www.intersect.org.au/training
