Xplore

An intuitive data platform that fits your organisation.

Combine the world's largest open indicator databases, the best charting engine with dashboarding and scientific analysis tools — all in one platform.

From your data to a live platform in days

What Xplore deploys natively

An open source framework that transforms any catalogue of structured data into an interactive exploration platform — with maps, charts, scatter plots, temporal animations and native download.

Scatter plots and correlations

Cross any indicators against each other to reveal correlations or significant trends that can evolve over time. Regression fits and correlation analysis available via the Scientific analysis companion tool.

Trajectories and 2D evolutions

Visualisation of individual trajectories for each entity. Ideal for identifying patterns, exploring causal effects, or discontinuities in evolution within a two-dimensional space.

Animated maps

Geographic visualisation in two or three dimensions of each indicator, with a time slider and visual comparison centred on any region of the world.

Rankings

Dynamic rankings by indicator, animated over time, for each entity (country or other). Immediate comparison of relative positions, coloured by data group.

Bar charts

Bar chart races, accessible on all global data. Direct comparisons across entities, sortable and animated, revealing gaps at a glance. Includes a slope view for simplified trend visualisation.

Interactive time-series charts

Evolution over decades, multi-entity, with animation and Play button. Linear or logarithmic scale, percentage normalisation available. Ability to add projections across different scenarios, observe relative change, etc. Temporal trend fitting and extrapolation available via the Scientific analysis tool.

The principles that guide Xplore's design.

Create your own explorer in just a few minutes

Explorer Creator is Xplore's self-service interface. Select indicators from 9 institutional data sources, configure your selection, and get a shareable public URL — no code, no server, no waiting.

1 — Choose

Browse 10,000+ indicators from 9 institutional sources. Filter by theme, source or temporal coverage.

2 — Configure

Name the explorer, combine multi-source indicators in a single basket, add your own CSV data.

3 — Publish

An automated pipeline downloads the data, generates the charts and deploys the explorer on a public URL.

9 available sources

Our World in Data World Bank IMF OECD V-Dem Penn World Table Quality of Government CPDS World Inequality Database + your own CSV data
Your own data in the explorer

Upload a CSV or connect a Google Sheet — each tab becomes a category of indicators. Your data is automatically integrated and cross-referenceable with the 10,000+ public indicators in the same explorer.

Live connector NEW Connect a Google Sheet — charts update automatically on every reload, zero re-upload.

Beyond the explorer

Xplore includes a full layer of tools for deeper analysis, communication, and teaching — all built on the same indicator databases.

Scientific Analysis

Regression, clustering, forecasting, breakpoint detection — directly on any open indicator dataset. No code, no export.

Dashboards

Build data-driven presentations from your indicators. Share as a URL or embed anywhere — live charts included.

Quizzes

Turn indicator data into interactive multiple-choice learning experiences. Link each question to a live chart.

Proof of concept: The Observatory of Contemporary Societies

Before being a framework, Xplore is a response to a concrete frustration. The Modern Societies Observatory (MSO) was born from the observation that the large institutional datasets on how societies function — available, validated, invaluable — did not have the interface they deserved.

The MSO is one example of an Xplore instance — a thematic observatory built on the same infrastructure that lets any user create their own explorer in minutes, add scientific analyses, and share interactive presentations. It is not the product itself, but a demonstration of what can be built with it.

The OSC is not a simulated demonstration. It is a production platform, publicly accessible, used for research, teaching and science communication. It illustrates what Xplore can deploy for your organisation — with your data, on your domain.
