Mapping 311 call with OpenRefine and Fusion Table

The Open Toronto Meet Up organize an interesting event on Tuesday April 28, to discuss Toronto’s Open 311 Data Sets. (https://www.meetup.com/opentoronto/events/221526309/)

Since the tools section for the Open Toronto event has been left empty, this session will explore tools and technique to find trends and interesting facts in 311 data sets. We won't discuss the data tonight, just help you to prepare for the Open Data Book Club the following week.

In this session we will be fetching data from Toronto Open Data portal, prepare them in OpenRefine, geocode them using Google Map API and map them in Google Fusion Table.

Come with your questions.
