  • Open OpenRefine and log into the GOKb extension.

Step 32: Preview your data

  • OpenRefine will show you a preview of your data. Scan it to make sure everything looks correct.
  • If there is extra text at the top of your file, you can use the "Ignore first" checkbox at the bottom of the screen to prevent that data from being imported.
  • Uncheck the box labeled "Parse cell test into numbers, dates..." This may reformat your dates and ISSNs and can't be undone after import.
  • Choose UTF-8 as your character encoding standard. This will ensure that diacritics are correctly displayed.

Step 43: Name your project

A "project" in GOKb corresponds to a file in OpenRefine. A project may contain multiple packages.

  • Edit your project's name using the text field at the top of the screen.

  • See the Project Naming Conventions page for additional detail.
