Wikipedia Link Graph, layout, and Contexts Dataset

This repository hosts the complete, high-fidelity graph dataset of the English Wikipedia (approx. 5.48M articles/nodes and 100M+ links/edges). It is designed to enable researchers, developers, and graph-database enthusiasts to study massive web graphs, run node classification, representation learning (Node2Vec, GNNs), and explore spatial force-directed graph layouts.

This data directly backs the Wikipedia Graph Visualizer, an interactive cosmic WebGL space showing Wikipedia as a stellar galaxy.

🏛️ Schema Definitions (SQLite)

1. wiki_graph_structure.db (Clean Schema)

This SQLite database contains the core relational schemas:

• nodes Table:

  CREATE TABLE nodes (
      idx INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,   -- 0-indexed node sequence ID
      title TEXT UNIQUE,         -- Wikipedia Article Name (UTF-8)
      category INTEGER,          -- Wikipedia Category ID mapping
      views INTEGER,             -- Monthly Pageviews count
      x INTEGER,                 -- Force-directed X coordinate (quantized uint16)
      y INTEGER                  -- Force-directed Y coordinate (quantized uint16)
  );
  CREATE INDEX idx_nodes_title ON nodes(title);
  

• links Table:

  CREATE TABLE links (
      source_idx INTEGER,        -- Source node idx
      target_idx INTEGER,        -- Target node idx
      FOREIGN KEY(source_idx) REFERENCES nodes(idx),
      FOREIGN KEY(target_idx) REFERENCES nodes(idx)
  );
  CREATE INDEX idx_links_source ON links(source_idx);
  CREATE INDEX idx_links_target ON links(target_idx);
  

2. test_scrape/wiki_simulation.db (Visualizer Backend Schema)

This production database expands on the clean schema with full-text search indexes and link wikitext context snippets:

• contexts Table:

  CREATE TABLE contexts (
      source_idx INTEGER,        -- Source node idx
      target_idx INTEGER,        -- Target node idx
      context TEXT,              -- exact raw wikitext sentence containing the hyperlink
      PRIMARY KEY (source_idx, target_idx)
  );

⚡ Loading & Access Examples

1. SQLite Query Examples

To find the shortest paths or navigate link hierarchies, query the SQLite database locally or stream it:

-- Get the out-links (pages mentioned in the article 'SpaceX')
SELECT n.title 
FROM links l 
JOIN nodes n ON l.target_idx = n.idx 
WHERE l.source_idx = (SELECT idx FROM nodes WHERE title = 'SpaceX');

-- Get the in-links (pages linking back to 'Artificial intelligence')
SELECT n.title 
FROM links l 
JOIN nodes n ON l.source_idx = n.idx 
WHERE l.target_idx = (SELECT idx FROM nodes WHERE title = 'Artificial intelligence');

-- Find context wikitext snippet explaining a connection
SELECT context 
FROM contexts 
WHERE source_idx = (SELECT idx FROM nodes WHERE title = 'Python (programming language)')
  AND target_idx = (SELECT idx FROM nodes WHERE title = 'C++');

2. Streaming via HTTP Range Requests (SQLite VFS)

Because downloading the full 25.30 GB database is impractical in the browser, the visualizer uses sql-httpvfs to stream chunks of the database directly from Hugging Face on-demand.

Javascript/HTML integration:

import { createDbWorker } from "sql-httpvfs";

const workerUrl = new URL("sqlite.worker.js", import.meta.url).href;
const wasmUrl = new URL("sql-wasm.wasm", import.meta.url).href;

const dbUrl = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/icybawss/wikipedia-graph-data/resolve/main/test_scrape/wiki_simulation.db";

const worker = await createDbWorker(
  [
    {
      from: "inline",
      config: {
        serverMode: "full",
        requestChunkSize: 65536, // 64KB range queries
        url: dbUrl
      }
    }
  ],
  workerUrl,
  wasmUrl
);

// Query is translated directly to HTTP 206 Partial Content range requests
const results = await worker.db.query(
  "SELECT context FROM contexts WHERE source_idx = 1010 AND target_idx = 2020"
);
console.log(results[0].context);

3. Reading CSR Traversal Binaries (Python)

The Compressed Sparse Row binaries contain contiguous arrays of indices for instantaneous link graph traversals without SQL execution overhead.

import numpy as np
import gzip

# Read packed CSR binary
with gzip.open("adjacency_csr.bin.gz", "rb") as f:
    # 32-bit integer header: [N, E]
    header = np.frombuffer(f.read(8), dtype=np.uint32)
    N, E = header[0], header[1]
    
    # Offsets array (size N + 1): points to starting bounds of target connections
    offsets = np.frombuffer(f.read((N + 1) * 4), dtype=np.uint32)
    
    # Columns array (size E): stores the actual target indices
    columns = np.frombuffer(f.read(E * 4), dtype=np.uint32)

def get_neighbors(node_idx):
    if node_idx < 0 or node_idx >= N:
        return []
    start = offsets[node_idx]
    end = offsets[node_idx + 1]
    return columns[start:end]

print("Out-links for node ID 1010:", get_neighbors(1010))

⚙️ Layout & Data Pipeline

The dataset coordinates and binaries were generated via a multi-stage distributed pipeline:

1. Wikipedia Extraction: Standard SAX parsing of enwiki-latest-pages-articles-multistream.xml.bz2 extracting valid hyperlinks.
2. Pageviews Merging: Joining nodes with monthly counts inside pageviews.bz2 to compute node weight and relative radius sizing.
3. Layout Generation: Running a GPU-accelerated ForceAtlas2 force-directed physics layout using NVIDIA RAPIDS cuGraph over the complete 100M+ link edge-list.
4. Quantization: Squeezing the double-precision float $(x, y)$ layout outputs into 16-bit unsigned integers mapped to a $384 \times 384$ coordinate grid system.
5. CSR Indexing: Compiling out-links and in-links arrays to pack structural graph traversal bytes.
