# Introduction

> Overview of Knowledge Graph datasets grouped into standards, learning components, learning progressions, curriculum, and instructional guidance.

## Overview

Knowledge Graph data is grouped into 5 categories:

* [**Standards**](/knowledge-graph/schema-reference/standards) - Official expectations for student learning across academic subjects and jurisdictions, plus durable skills and learner competencies
* [**Learning components**](/knowledge-graph/schema-reference/learning-components) - Granular skills or concepts that break academic standards down into teachable parts
* [**Learning progressions**](/knowledge-graph/schema-reference/learning-progressions) - Representations of how standards build towards and relate to each other
* [**Curriculum**](/knowledge-graph/schema-reference/curriculum) - Standards-aligned lessons and assessments provided by a publisher
* [**Instructional guidance**](/knowledge-graph/schema-reference/instructional-guidance) - Grade- and subject-specific learner profiles, research-backed factors, and instructional strategies

Each category contains datasets that share a schema. Each dataset covers a specific educational domain and includes one or more file downloads.
