METADATA
“Metadata is defined as structured information that describes, explains, locates, and otherwise represents something else. Metadata allows data to be found and interpreted. At a minimum, one needs to know who created the data, when the data were created or published, and a title or descriptive name used to refer to the dataset. Digital data should also have a unique and persistent identifier. Two metadata standards commonly used to describe research data are Dublin Core and the Data Documentation Initiative.” (Coursera).

I have started work with OpenRefine.org, also known as Google Refine. Working with Messy data.
