Google's light web application Fusion Table allows users to analyze their data in the simplest way possible. Its analysis output comes in the form charts, maps, network graphs, and cards layout, which allows users to specify their own layout with HTML. Users need internet connection to work on the Google Fusion Tables analysis, but no installation is required. Users also need to manage their data elsewhere, but are able to collect public data tables using Google Tables - a search engine of thousands of public Fusion Tables -or the millions of public tables from around the web that users can import to their own Fusion Tables application. Fusion Tables is an experimental application from Google Research. Research at Google aims to tackle the most challenging problems in computer science and related fields. Research ranges from data management to machine intelligence. A supporter for open source software development, Google Research has teams in China, EMEA, Australia, New Zealand, India, and North America that build and maintain relationships with universities and faculty in their regions and support continuing innovation in computer science education.
