About OpenRefine:
OpenRefine is a powerful free, open source tool for working with messy data: cleaning it; transforming it from one format into another; and extending it with web services and external data.
From OpenRefine:
OpenRefine is a web application, but is designed to be run locally on your own machine. The server-side maintains states of the data (undo/redo history, long-running processes, etc.) while the client-side maintains states of the user interface (facets and their selections, view pagination, etc.). The client-side makes GET and POST ajax calls to cause changes to the data and to fetch data and data-related states from the server-side.
This architecture provides a good separation of concerns (data vs. UI); allows the use of familiar web technologies (HTML, CSS, Javascript) to implement user interface features; and enables the server side to be called by third-party software through standard GET and POST operations.
