A two-hour tutorial on ingesting open data into Wikidata using OpenRefine for absolute beginners.
NOTE THE TIME REQUESTED!
A two-hour tutorial on ingesting open data into Wikidata using OpenRefine. This is a very powerful tool that's a bit daunting to pick up on one's own, leaving whole communities behind on its adoption.
Based on a successful (and sadly unrecorded) run at Turkic Wikimedia Conference, I thought I would offer it again at Wikimania.
No knowledge of OpenRefine is assumed, but basic familiarity with Wikidata's core concepts (Items, properties, values) is assumed.

Gaining the ability to ingest open data from external sources furthers our ability to collaborate across the Open.
