Star Trek: The Next Generation - Narrative Knowledge Graph

A rich narrative knowledge graph extracted from Star Trek: The Next Generation screenplays using the Fabula pipeline. Contains characters, locations, objects, organizations, events, themes, and conflict arcs with full participation semantics and Graph Gravity importance tiers.

Related Datasets

This is a single-season dataset containing entities and events as extracted from Season 7 screenplays.

• Megagraph (all seasons unified): brandburner/startrektng-mega-narrative-kg

Note: The megagraph is not a simple union of season datasets. Cross-season entities are reconciled through a Global Entity Registry (GER), receiving new canonical UUIDs and distilled descriptions. Graph Gravity tiers are recalculated across all episodes. Use individual season datasets for single-season analysis; use the megagraph for cross-season analysis.

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset
import pandas as pd

# Load from HuggingFace
ds = load_dataset("brandburner/startrektng-s07-narrative-kg")

# Or load parquet directly
nodes = pd.read_parquet("nodes.parquet")
edges = pd.read_parquet("edges.parquet")

# Filter to anchor characters
anchors = nodes[(nodes['primary_label'] == 'Agent') & (nodes['tier'] == 'anchor')]

# Build a NetworkX graph
import networkx as nx
G = nx.DiGraph()
for _, n in nodes.iterrows():
    G.add_node(n['node_id'], label=n['primary_label'], name=n['name'])
for _, e in edges.iterrows():
    G.add_edge(e['source_node_id'], e['target_node_id'], type=e['relationship_type'])
