- # OpenAlex Graph Index & Tile Repository
87
 
88
- A pre-built static index and tile repository derived from the [OpenAlex](https://openalex.org/) scholarly knowledge graph. Designed for efficient client-side graph exploration and visualization.
89
 
90
- ## What is this?
91
 
92
- This repository contains a **processed, indexed, and tiled** version of the OpenAlex snapshot, optimized for:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
93
 
94
- - **Static HTTP serving** all files are pre-sharded binary or compressed JSONL, ready to serve from any CDN or file host
95
- - **Client-side graph visualization** — spatial indices, LOD levels, and edge tiles enable progressive loading of a 500M+ node graph
96
- - **Entity lookup** — compact ID mappings, name indices, and search indices for fast entity resolution
97
 
98
- This repository includes both the **raw OpenAlex snapshot** (under `snapshot/`) and a **processed graph index and tile set** (under `index/`, `layout/`, `tiles/`) derived from it. The upstream snapshot is also available directly from [OpenAlex on S3](https://docs.openalex.org/download-all-data/openalex-snapshot).

- ## About OpenAlex
101
 
102
- [OpenAlex](https://openalex.org/) is a free, open catalogue of the global research system — scholarly works, authors, institutions, journals, and the connections between them. It is maintained by [OurResearch](https://ourresearch.org/) and available under a [CC0](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/) public domain license.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
103
 
104
- The `snapshot/` directory in this repository is a mirror of the [OpenAlex S3 snapshot](https://docs.openalex.org/download-all-data/openalex-snapshot) ([AWS Open Data Registry](https://registry.opendata.aws/openalex/)). Records are gzip-compressed JSON Lines matching the [REST API schema](https://docs.openalex.org/api-entities), partitioned by date. The upstream snapshot is updated approximately monthly.

- Entity types are available as two sets of configs:

- - **`works`**, **`authors`**, **`concepts`**, etc. — Compact entity index built by the pipeline
119
- - **`snapshot-works`**, **`snapshot-authors`**, **`snapshot-concepts`**, etc. — Full OpenAlex API records from the raw S3 snapshot

- ## Usage
238
-
239
- These files are designed to be served statically over HTTP and consumed by a JavaScript client (e.g., [BibGraph](https://github.com/Mearman/BibGraph)). They are **not** intended for direct use via `datasets.load_dataset()`, though the JSONL entity indices can be loaded that way.
240
-
241
- ### Load via datasets library
242
-
243
- ```python
244
- from datasets import load_dataset
245
-
246
- # Load compact entity index
247
- authors = load_dataset("Mearman/OpenAlex", "authors", split="index")
248
- works = load_dataset("Mearman/OpenAlex", "works", split="index")
249
-
250
- # Load full OpenAlex snapshot records
251
- works_full = load_dataset("Mearman/OpenAlex", "snapshot-works", split="train")
252
- topics_full = load_dataset("Mearman/OpenAlex", "snapshot-topics", split="train")
253
-
254
- # Load search index
255
- search = load_dataset("Mearman/OpenAlex", "search", split="train")
256
- ```
257
-
258
- ### Download specific directories
259
-
260
- ```python
261
- from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
262
-
263
- # Download just the entity index
264
- snapshot_download(
265
- "Mearman/OpenAlex",
266
- repo_type="dataset",
267
- allow_patterns="index/entities/*",
268
- local_dir="./openalex",
269
- )
270
-
271
- # Download tiles for 2D visualization
272
- snapshot_download(
273
- "Mearman/OpenAlex",
274
- repo_type="dataset",
275
- allow_patterns=["tiles/manifest.json", "tiles/nodes/*", "tiles/coords/2d/*", "tiles/spatial/2d/*"],
276
- local_dir="./openalex",
277
- )
278
- ```
279
-
280
- ### Serve locally
281
-
282
- ```bash
283
- huggingface-cli download Mearman/OpenAlex --repo-type dataset --local-dir ./openalex
284
- cd openalex && python3 -m http.server 8080
