Use the Knowledge Graph data

The Knowledge Graph dataset contains a number of tables which contain information on the content of the GOV.UK website.

More information on the tables themselves can be found on the Knowledge Graph data source page.

Get access to Knowledge Graph data

To get access to the Knowledge Graph data, please post in the #data-engineering Slack channel.

How to use the Knowledge Graph data

One view of the Knowledge Graph data can be accessed via the GovGraph tool.

The Knowledge Graph data can also be queried directly in BigQuery, or it can be used in various reporting or data visualisation tools.

Whether you query it directly in BigQuery or use the data in a reporting tool, you will need a Google Cloud Platform project with billing enabled through which you can query the data. If you are GDS staff, please contact the #data-engineering community who will be able to provide you with a Google Cloud Platform billing project ID. If you work for another public sector organisation, your department or organisation will have to provide you with this ID.

Sample queries

Some sample queries can be found in the project’s GitHub documentation.
