What’s a common problem that Philippine organizations have when using location datasets? They’re messy! Misspellings, abbreviations, inconsistent styles and conventions make it tricky for to identify the same place across multiple datasets. And the bigger your datasets get, the more time and work data cleaning takes.
Thinking Machines is developing LinkSight, an open-source web-app that will clean up messy location datasets more quickly. No coding required! Our goal is for LinkSight to do the data cleaning for you so that you can focus on finding insight in your data, making data-driven decisions, and creating impact for your organization.
But to make this happen, we need your help. For the next few months, we will be conducting user testing sessions with our contributors to help us improve the product and get it ready for public release.
