Silk's Summer Webinar: Cleaning and enhancing datasets with the Silk data team
Channel: silkapp
Date: 18/09/2015

The webinar focuses on cleaning and enhancing data. We find that data almost never comes in perfect form. Cleaning the data for consistency and accuracy is required before turning that data into a real story. Alice Corona, another Silk in-house data journalist, is an expert in data cleaning. She shares all of her tips, tricks, and tools she uses to make data look pretty. As an example, she uses movie data that she cleans with Google Sheets and Open Refine, and enhances with various movie-related API's.
