Google Refine is a power tool for working with messy data. Use it to improve data consistency, link it to data registries like Freebase, augment it with data from other sources, transform it into different formats for other tools to consume, and contribute it to back to the original sources. Google Refine is not a web service but a desktop app that runs on your own computer, so you can process sensitive data with privacy.
Google Refine was originally developed as Gridworks by Metaweb, Inc.. Metaweb was acquired by Google in July 2010.
