OpenRefine stuffs

[ChrisMuir]

In the README, there's a mention of possibly integrating OpenRefine functions into this package. I don't know if this is useful or interesting to the pkg authors, but I created an R package implementation of two of the OpenRefine clustering algorithms. It also features approximate string matching to catch minor misspellings, and merges grouped clusters automatically. For many use cases, the package eliminates the need to export data to the OpenRefine interface, manually select clusters to merge, save the edited dataset, and re-import back into R.....everything can be done within R.

Anyways, if this sounds useful, let me know, I'd be happy to collaborate and contribute.

Thanks!

Good to know! OpenRefine seems to be very useful for fuzzy string work.
