The [Dataset catalog](https://platform.learningcommons.org/dataset-catalog) ↗ breaks [Knowledge Graph](/knowledge-graph/understanding-knowledge-graph/introduction) data down into 5 thematic categories:
* [Standards](#standards)
* [Learning components](#learning-components)
* [Learning progressions](#learning-progressions)
* [Curriculum](#curriculum)
* [Instructional guidance](#instructional-guidance)
These categories contain related [datasets](#datasets-by-category), each of which includes one or more file downloads.
Example: The [Standards](#standards) group includes the [U.S. academic standards](/knowledge-graph/datasets/standards/us-academic-standards) dataset (among others).
That dataset includes several file downloads: "Math standards", "ELA standards", etc.
If you only need ELA standards for your use case, you can simply download the "ELA standards" file. You do not need to download the whole [U.S. academic standards](/knowledge-graph/datasets/standards/us-academic-standards) dataset ([or the entire Knowledge Graph](/knowledge-graph/using-knowledge-graph/local-files)).
## How to use the catalog
From the Dataset catalog, you can:
* Download all of Knowledge Graph's **Open** access datasets at once:
* `nodes.jsonl` - Contains Knowledge Graph [entities](/knowledge-graph/understanding-knowledge-graph/core-concepts#entities) (graph nodes)
* `relationships.jsonl` - Contains Knowledge Graph [relationships](/knowledge-graph/understanding-knowledge-graph/core-concepts#relationships) (graph edges)
* Browse datasets from different publishers to download just the dataset or file(s) relevant to your use case
## Datasets by category
New datasets will be added over time. See the [Dataset
catalog](https://platform.learningcommons.org/dataset-catalog) ↗ for the
latest information.

## Access types
Data access is scoped by
[organization](/platform/understanding-the-platform/organizations). Switching
organizations may change which data is accessible to you and your team
members.
A dataset includes one or more file downloads.
Data access is granted by file, so a dataset can be fully **Open**, fully **Gated**, or a mix of both **Open** and **Gated**.
| Access type | Description |
| :---------------------------------------------------------------------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| | Available to anyone signed in to [Platform](https://platform.learningcommons.org/) via the [Dataset catalog](https://platform.learningcommons.org/dataset-catalog) |
| | Requires a license agreement with the publisher, who reviews requests, sets licensing terms, and may charge fees |
| +
| Contains both open and gated files
e.g., [IM® v.360](/knowledge-graph/datasets/curriculum/im-v360) has an open **Scope and Sequence** file, but gated **Instructional Materials** and **Assessment Materials** files |
| | Not yet available via the [Dataset catalog](http://platform.learningcommons.org/dataset-catalog) ↗ or [local download](/knowledge-graph/using-knowledge-graph/local-files#download-all-data). Contact [support@learningcommons.org](mailto:support@learningcommons.org) ↗ for more information |
## Downloading open data
In the [**Dataset
catalog**](https://platform.learningcommons.org/dataset-catalog) ↗, open a dataset that includes open download files.
Reference the [Knowledge Graph datasets](/knowledge-graph/datasets) for detailed schema information.
For open datasets and open download files, download the listed JSONL files and
query them locally. See [Local
files](/knowledge-graph/using-knowledge-graph/local-files) for file format
details and example queries.
## Requesting access to gated data
Admin only
Request access now so that publishers can begin reviewing your use case.
Downloads become available in **Fall 2026**.
To access gated datasets or files, your organization may need to sign a licensing agreement with the publisher, who reviews your request and negotiates licensing terms directly.
**Admins** can go to the [Dataset catalog](https://platform.learningcommons.org/dataset-catalog) ↗ to start this request process.
**Collaborators** cannot submit their own access requests, but they can see the [status of submitted requests](#request-statuses).
In the [**Dataset catalog**](https://platform.learningcommons.org/dataset-catalog) ↗, open a dataset that includes gated download files. Mixed datasets show which files are open and which require a request.
Complete the request form.
The publisher will use this information to evaluate your organization's use case and decide whether to grant access to the requested data.
If your organization has not verified this information yet, you will be prompted to verify organization details like name, domain, size, etc.
Review all details carefully – if you submit a request with incorrect information, you will need to contact [support@learningcommons.org](mailto:support@learningcommons.org) ↗ to fix the issue.
Submit your contact information, as well as the contact information of someone who can negotiate and sign the license agreement with the publisher.
If your organization has not verified its domain yet, you will be taken to the [Organization settings](https://platform.learningcommons.org/settings/organization) to verify your domain. You will be prompted to copy a provided host and value, and then paste them into a TXT record in your domain provider’s DNS settings.
This process verifies that you are associated with your organization and ensures that no one else will be able to use your domain with Learning Commons.
Return to [Organization settings](https://platform.learningcommons.org/settings/organization) and click **Start checking** to finalize verification.
It may take up to 72 hours for your TXT record changes to take effect. Contact [support@learningcommons.org](mailto:support@learningcommons.org) ↗ if you are experiencing issues.
The data publisher will review your request and may reach out to you to negotiate licensing terms.
Contact the publisher directly for questions about licensing.
Once the publisher formally approves the request, your organization will be able to download the requested file in Fall 2026.
### Request statuses
Troubleshoot why your access request has not yet been approved based on its status in the [Dataset catalog](https://platform.learningcommons.org/dataset-catalog) ↗.
| Status | Description | What to do |
| :------------------------------------------ | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Verify domain | Your request was saved. You must verify your domain to submit your request to the publisher. | **Admin** must complete verification in [Organization settings](https://platform.learningcommons.org/settings/organization) ↗. If you can't access DNS or have other issues, contact [support@learningcommons.org](mailto:support@learningcommons.org) ↗. |
| Submitted | Your request was submitted. The publisher has not yet started reviewing the request. | No action needed. If the status doesn't update to "In review" for several weeks, contact [support@learningcommons.org](mailto:support@learningcommons.org) ↗. |
| In review | The publisher is reviewing your request and will contact you about licensing. | Respond promptly to any outreach. If you hear nothing for several weeks, contact the publisher. |
| Approved | Your organization has access to the publisher's gated data under your negotiated license terms. | Downloads will be allowed starting Fall 2026. We will contact you when your data is available. |
| Not approved | Your request was not approved. | Ask the publisher why your request was not approved. Use this information to submit a new request. |
| Deactivated | Access to this data is no longer active. | Contact the publisher to reactivate access. Deactivation is often due to expired terms, unpaid fees, or license violations. If you hear nothing for several weeks, submit a new request. |
| Withdrawn | An **Admin** in your organization withdrew this request. | Submit a new request when your organization is ready. |
