# 3GPP Rel-19 Telecom Knowledge Graph (KG + Chunks)

## Dataset Summary

This dataset, developed by *Khalifa University Research Institute for Digital Future (KU-DF)*, contains a large-scale **telecom-domain knowledge graph** built from **3GPP Release 19 specifications**, together with the underlying text chunks used for extraction and grounding.

It supports research and development in:
- Telecom and networking
- Knowledge graphs
- LLM-based reasoning over standards
- Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)

---

## Dataset Structure

The dataset includes three main components:

- **Knowledge Graph** (`graphml`):
  - Nodes: telecom entities (concepts, parameters, identifiers, protocols, references)
  - Edges: semantic relations with provenance

- **Text Chunks** (`jsonl`):
  - Fine-grained chunks extracted from 3GPP specifications
  - Used as grounding for KG nodes and edges

- **Entity Mapping** (`json`):
  - Maps entities to chunk IDs and source files

---

## Data Statistics

- **Nodes**: 21,540  
- **Edges**: 31,718  
- **Unique entities**: 6,044  
- **Text chunks**: 896,453  

---

## Data Cleaning

Cleaning was limited to structural normalization:
- Removal of NULL-only or empty identifiers
- Removal of isolated nodes with no semantic content
- Exact duplicate node and edge removal
- No semantic pruning of telecom concepts

---

## Intended Uses

- Telecom standards analysis
- Knowledge graph analytics
- LLM-assisted exploration of 3GPP specifications
- RAG systems for telecom documentation
- Research on information extraction from standards

---

## Limitations

- The dataset is limited to **3GPP Release 19**
- Some entities may lack textual descriptions and are intended for later enrichment
