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
