The session combined a technical part (how to clean, organize and reuse data) with a critical reflection on who produces that data, what inequalities it reflects and how we can intervene to build fairer and more plural knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"gt-como-funciona-openrefine\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&gt; How OpenRefine works<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/openrefine.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>OpenRefine<\/strong><\/a> is a <strong>free software<\/strong> This allows you to work with datasets in a structured way. During the workshop we saw its potential to clean up information, detect errors, reconcile data with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wikidata<\/a> and perform massive loads. One of the key concepts was the <strong>reconciliation<\/strong>, the process of linking our data with existing elements in Wikidata, something fundamental to avoid duplication and improve the quality of information. Good practices and complementary tools to work more safely in bulk shipments were also addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"gt-datos-feministas-datos-queer-mirar-y-cambiar-lo-que-falta\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">&gt; Feminist data, queer data: looking at (and changing) what's missing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the technical, the workshop focused on the <strong>data as a power space<\/strong>. Based on the principles of data feminism, we work on the importance of questioning biases, incorporating context and making absences visible. A clear example was the analysis of <strong>public domain in Colombia<\/strong>, where just between a 2% and a 4% of the persons registered are women. This type of data not only shows inequalities, but also opens opportunities to act: create articles, improve content or recover historically invisible figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can <a href=\"http:\/\/a.hiperterminal.com\/ly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">consult the presentation here<\/a> and we leave you the video below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"OpenRefine Workshop by David Ram\u00edrez-Ord\u00f3\u00f1ez (@hiperminal)\" width=\"980\" height=\"551\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jRj3cXRn1uk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
