Web Scraping

Ever found yourself repeatedly copying & pasting data from the web? Discovered a database that is only accessible through a website and wished you could just download the data you need? Luckily there are ways for automating information extraction from sources on the web.

In this Brown Bag Lunch, we will look at a lesson on Programming Historian that demonstrates how to perform Web Scraping using Openrefine.
