About Knowledge Graph

Knowledge Graph is a structured dataset that connects state academic standards, curricula, and learning science data from domain experts.

Key use cases include:

• Standards alignment: Identify how your content supports specific academic standards and create content rooted in learner competencies across all key subjects
• Instructional planning: Create dependencies, learning progressions, and content coverage, starting with math in the Common Core State Standards
• Compare state standards: Adapt content aligned to one state standard to other states, initially in math across Common Core State Standards and 15+ additional states
• Curriculum alignment: Align your content or create additional materials aligned to curriculum (private-beta access only - details below on how to join)

Knowledge Graph is distributed as CSV and JSON export files, making it accessible without specialized infrastructure. These files reflect a graph-based model, allowing developers to work with the data in relational databases or other environments. This structure enables rich querying and supports AI-enhanced educational applications.

For complete setup instructions and usage examples, see the full docs.

Quick Start

The knowledge graph data is available for download in both CSV and JSON formats. The graph data is exported with each file representing a specific entity type, and a relationships file capturing the connections between entities.

CSV files: UTF-8 encoded with comma delimiters and quoted fields. All CSV files include header rows with column names.

JSON files: Newline delimited JSON format with UTF-8 encoding.

Files

• StandardsFramework: Educational standards frameworks
• StandardsFrameworkItem: Individual standards and learning objectives within frameworks
• LearningComponent: Granular, precise representations of individual skills or concepts
• Relationships: Connections and associations between all entity types

Download options

There are two options to download the files: direct s3 links, or using curl commands.

Direct S3 links

CSV files:

• StandardsFramework.csv
• StandardsFrameworkItem.csv
• LearningComponent.csv
• Relationships.csv

JSON files:

• StandardsFramework.json
• StandardsFrameworkItem.json
