# Graph

{% hint style="danger" %}
**WARNING**: While we are experimenting with [Kumu](/learning/tools/kumu.md) during the [Alpha](/release-notes/alpha.md) and [Beta](/release-notes/beta.md) stages of this project, the link to the `Graph` is likely to change (a result of how [Kumu](/learning/tools/kumu.md) links are structured). We will keep this page linked as those changes occur, so if you get an error going to an old link, please come back here.
{% endhint %}

The [Data](/about/elements/data.md) in this project is great, and we are really excited to build it more and more, but what started it all was this idea about a network graph showing `Organizations` in the ecosystem.

We want to build on that idea to incorporate other [Entities](/about/elements/data/entities.md) (like `Groups`, `Activities`, `Artifacts`, and even `Individuals`), but there are a lot of associated [Data](/about/elements/data.md) challenges there, so we started with [Google Sheets](/learning/tools/google-sheets.md) and [Kumu](/learning/tools/kumu.md) and will continue exploring with [Partners](/about/support/partners.md) to see what else might be helpful and more robust.

### Initial Graph

We populated the [Alpha](/release-notes/alpha.md) with just `Government` `Organizations` and are building from there, trying to capture the right layers while also finding views that simplify the complexity. 

This will be most of the fun of this project (isn't [Data Visualization](/learning/concepts/data-visualization.md) always fun?) and we look forward to [Feedback](/about/feedback.md), so feel free to [Contact Us](/about/contact-us.md)!

### Future Graphs

As we think about the future, we want to expand to include the [Map](/about/elements/map.md) and [Timeline](/about/elements/timeline.md) (both of which can be uniuque or just different views of the same [Data](/about/elements/data.md)) - we don't know the right answer yet on how to do this, and expect that working with [Partners](/about/support/partners.md) will likely open up other avenues for [Data Visualization](/learning/concepts/data-visualization.md) that we may want to explore.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.natsec.io/about/elements/graph.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
