# Standards

> Standards in Knowledge Graph: StandardsFramework and StandardsFrameworkItem entities, hierarchy relationships, and standards crosswalk alignments.

[Schema last updated Jul 9, 2026.](#schema-release-history)

## Overview

> [!NOTE]
>
> Standards [entities](#entities) and [relationships](#relationships) are
> referenced in the [U.S. academic
> standards](https://docs.learningcommons.org/knowledge-graph/datasets/us-academic-standards.md), [Standards
> crosswalks](https://docs.learningcommons.org/knowledge-graph/datasets/standards-crosswalks.md), [English Language
> Development Standards
> Framework](https://docs.learningcommons.org/knowledge-graph/datasets/standards/english-language-development-standards-framework.md),
> [XQ Competencies](https://docs.learningcommons.org/knowledge-graph/datasets/xq-competencies.md), and [Carnegie
> Skills Progressions](https://docs.learningcommons.org/knowledge-graph/datasets/carnegie-skills-progressions.md)
> datasets.

Standards represent the official expectations for student learning for various academic subjects across jurisdictions. Standards crosswalks connect state mathematics and ELA (English Language Arts) standards to their closest matching Common Core State Standards based on measurable overlap of Learning Components.

## Entities

> [!TIP]
>
> Standards in this dataset are refreshed monthly, based on updates to [Common Good Learning Tools](https://rosetta.commongoodlt.com/) ↗ data.
>
> When a new version of a standards framework is added, you can still query the superseded version. Superseded frameworks stay in the graph to preserve relationships (e.g., [U.S. academic standards crosswalks](https://docs.learningcommons.org/knowledge-graph/datasets/standards/us-academic-standards-crosswalks.md)) and allow querying across versions. The superseded framework will keep its identifier, and the new framework will have its own unique identifier.
>
> Frameworks are only removed if they are also removed from the CGLT (Common Good Learning Tools) source. If a framework identifier is missing, you can assume that it has been removed upstream.
>
> | To query | Directions |
> | :- | :- |
> | Current frameworks | Query frameworks with `isCurrent=true`. Only one framework is marked `isCurrent=true` for a given jurisdiction and subject. Frameworks become `isCurrent=true` at their implementation date (not publish date). This ensures that a current frameworks query doesn't return standards that schools are not yet teaching. |
> | Standards for current frameworks | Find a current framework (using `isCurrent=true`), then query its related standards. Filtering standards on jurisdiction and academic subject alone is NOT sufficient to get the most current standards or to disambiguate between standards belonging to different frameworks. Standards content may change, even under a stable framework identifier. If you cache standard text, re-read it after a release - a stable identifier does not mean stable content. |

### `hasStandardAlignment`

Connects a state standard to a CCSS (Common Core State Standards) standard when the 2 are supported by overlapping sets of [`LearningComponent`](https://docs.learningcommons.org/knowledge-graph/schemas/learning-components#learningcomponent)s

This relationship does not imply sequence, dependency, or pedagogical progression – only the degree of shared content between the 2 standards. Direction is always state → CCSS (Common Core State Standards) (not state → state).

## Understanding the Jaccard score

A Jaccard score measures the level of similarity between 2 sets. It is scored on a scale of 0.0 to 1.0 – 0.0 represents zero overlap and 1.0 represents complete overlap.

In the context of the Knowledge Graph, we use the Jaccard score to measure how similar a state standard's learning components are to a CCSS (Common Core State Standards) standard's learning components:

**Jaccard score** = Shared learning components / Total unique learning components

> [!NOTE]
>
> **Example**: If a state standard has 5 learning components, a
>
> CCSSM (Common Core State Standards for Mathematics)
> standard has 6, and they share 4 of them, their Jaccard score would be `4 / (5 +
>   6 − 4) = 0.57`
>
> i.e., about 57% of these standards' underlying skills overlap

Only standards with at least one shared Learning Component have a Jaccard score.
