Google Public Data Explorer provides public data and forecasts from a range of international organizations and academic institutions including the World Bank, OECD, Eurostat and the University of Denver.[2][3] These can be displayed as line graphs, bar graphs, cross-sectional plots or on maps.[4] The product was launched on March 8, 2010 as an experimental visualization tool in Google Labs.[5]

In 2011 the Public Data Explorer was made available to everyone. The Dataset Publishing Language (DSPL) was created to be used with the platform.[6] Once data is imported, the dataset can be visualized, embedded in external websites, and shared with others.[7]

In May 2016, the addition of the Google Analytics Suite[8] enabled the import of public or individual datasets and provided no-code data visualization tools to users.

SDMX conversion

The SDMX converter is an open source application that offers the ability to convert DSPL (Google's Dataset Publishing Language) messages to SDMX-ML, and vice versa. The output file of a DSPL dataset is a zip file containing data (in the form of CSV files) and metadata (as an XML file). Datasets in this format can be visualized in the Google Public Data Explorer.[9]
