Data cleaning workflow

Today, we will go through a worked example of data cleaning. We'll start with getting the data from Specify through a query, working on it in Excel (or with R or Python), and then re-uploading to Specify. We'll also look at the Batch Edit function and when to use it vs. when to use the Workbench.

Even though we'll be looking at Specify, the lessons learned here would apply to any data cleaning workflow.
