    To get started:
    1. Describe your dataset using the Dataset Publishing Language (DSPL), an open, XML-based metadata format optimized for data visualization. See the documentation on Google Code for more information.
    2. Bundle your data and metadata into a single Zip file, and upload it using the button below.
    3. Preview, share, and publish your dataset for others to see and use.
    If you’re an official data provider and you would like to add your data to the directory, please follow this link.
    If you have questions or feedback, please post a message in the DSPL discussion forum.”
