Dear all, Thank you so much for your suggestions and advice, I really appreciate it.
I've been trying to use OpenRefine by following the tutorial that was posted, but I seem to be having some difficulties and I'm not entirely sure where I'm going wrong. Nicolas - perhaps I can write to you off-list to discuss this a little further? I don't want to take too much of your time, but any pointers you could give me would be much appreciated.
