This blog is intended as a training guide for people who wrangle metadata.
More specifically, it's aimed at people who wrangle tab-separated metadata and have noticed that excel has it's limits. People who have noticed that one of those limits is that excel dirties up their data.
This blog is for anyone who has ever spent more than twenty minutes replacing formatting in a spreadsheet by hand because 'find and replace' couldn't do it for them.
It's for anyone who ever wondered why, if computers can calculate astral trajectories and find websites about knitting traditions in Shetland and everything else, they can't manage to make bulk changes on a perfectly simple set of data.
They can, and it's easy.
