Description
While working on changes for #157 I noticed that there is no context for transform(ation)s within the section "Transforming data" in episode 2 – it just starts doing it. I feel it would be helpful to explain or mention that:
- OpenRefine acts on all values in a column (or on those in selected rows)
- such actions are called transforms or transformations
- various common actions are available as menu items for direct access
- you can create more advanced transformations using GREL code (or another expression language)
This connects very much to #102, because the order in which we mention these points within the lesson matters. As I suggested in #102 we could use "Trim leading and trailing whitespace" as a first demonstration of transformations, perhaps after making the dataset messier (discussed in #108).
