===Open Refine Hackfest===
'''"Half-Day"'''
* Contact [[User:bibliotechy|Chad Nelson]], chadbnelson@gmail.com
[http://openrefine.org/ Open Refine] is a powerful open source tool for wrangling messy data that can also be used to help in the creation of Linked Data via the [https://github.com/OpenRefine/OpenRefine/wiki/Reconciliation-Service-API Reconciliation API]. It is possible to write reconciliation services against API's, like the [http://iphylo.blogspot.com/2013/04/reconciling-author-names-using-open.html VIAF service] or, even just against local authority files for helping maintain authority control
The session would first introduce Open Refine, then walk through building a reconciliation service, and the rest of the session would be a hackfest where we build new reconciliation services for public consumption or local use.
