FactStatement Dataset

Overview

FactStatement is the foundational layer of FactNet, a cross-lingual, multi-layered fact knowledge graph. FactStatements are language-neutral, atomic fact units directly mapped from Wikidata statements, forming the core building blocks of the knowledge graph.

Dataset Format

The dataset contains parquet files with the following key fields:

  • core_id: Unique identifier for the fact statement
  • subject_qid: Wikidata QID of the subject entity
  • property_pid: Wikidata PID of the property
  • value: Raw value from Wikidata
  • value_qid: Entity QID if the value is an entity (otherwise null)
  • normalized_value: Standardized representation of the value
  • claim_hash: Standardized hash of subject|property|normalized_value|qualifiers
  • qualifiers: Qualifier information (time, location, etc.)
  • references: Source information
  • rank: Wikidata rank (preferred, normal, deprecated)
  • confidence: Computed confidence score

Usage

FactStatements are designed to be language-neutral representations of facts that can be linguistically realized through the FactSense layer and semantically grouped through the FactSynset layer.
