DSPL Tutorial - DSPL: Dataset Publishing Language. DSPL stands for Dataset Publishing Language.
Datasets described in DSPL can be imported into the Google Public Data Explorer, a tool that allows for rich, visual exploration of the data. Note: To upload data to Google Public Data using the Public Data upload tool, you must have a Google Account. This tutorial provides a step-by-step example of how to prepare a basic DSPL dataset. A DSPL dataset is a bundle that contains an XML file and a set of CSV files. The CSV files are simple tables containing the data of the dataset.
