Welcome!

The Open Data Editor (ODE) is a tool for non-technical data practitioners to explore and detect errors in tables.

ODE is powered by Frictionless, a toolkit created by the Open Knowledge Foundation (OKFN) to help data practitioners find errors in data in an easier way.

This project was possible thanks to the support of McGovern Foundation.
