Two distinct interfaces give Data-Planet the flexibility to serve users with basic data needs and/or complex research projects. Data-Planet makes vast amounts of data easier to find through a single point of access, makes data comparable across data sources, allows data downloading and exporting, and enables analysis with built in visualization tools that do not require specialized software or knowledge. Although the advanced interface takes persistence to master, the product ultimately streamlines researchers access to datasets and statistical information.", }
