Usage

from datasets import load_dataset
import pandas as pd

# Load from HuggingFace
ds = load_dataset("brandburner/wolfhall-s01-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'])
