# 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.
