OPEN REFINE & GOKB
Journal data comes in all shapes and sizes
Need a tool that:
 Makes it easy to edit files with hundreds to thousands of
journals
 Is usable by non-programmers but can apply complex
transformations
 Makes it easy to apply the same operations over and
over again
25
OPEN REFINE & GOKB
After looking at a range of options, settled on
Open Refine
Built an extension that:
 Supports shared workspace
 Enforces data integrity
 Makes common operations easy to apply
