Data cleaning service
We have expertise in data cleaning, data rescue and data 'archaeology' projects, which we undertake alongside our core data preparation activities. In the past we have worked for data owners on various data and metadata enhancements including:
- Conversion from column binary/ASCII to approved dissemination formats (SPSS/Stata/tab)
- Format conversion and documentation of unavailable of NOP/MORI/Gallup opinion polls from the early 70s
- Digitisation of the 1961 UK Census
- Digitisation and enhancement of the National Food Survey, 1974-2000
- Digitisation of Goldthorpe et al's The Affluent Worker and Peter Townsend's seminal Poverty in the UK surveys
- Digitisation of Ray Pahl's School Leavers essays and The National Archive's Morale and Home Intelligence Reports, 1941-1949
- Harmonisation and enhanced documentation of data to gain the Open Data Institute (ODI) Platinum Open Data Certification, including adding Linked Open Data:
- Restructure of the Ghana Millennium Villages household data to ease usability
If you have or know of an inaccessible data collection that you think may be of great value to the research community, whether it needs digitising, data entry, documentation or data conversion, please get in touch to discuss.
