The Google Public Data Explorer (PDE) is a tool that makes large, public-
interest datasets easy to explore, visualize, and share. In this talk, we give an
overview of the product and show some example visualizations. We then describe
how users can upload their own data into the system via the Dataset Publishing
Language (DSPL), an open data and metadata format designed from the ground-
up to support interactive visualizations like those in the PDE.
