GDELT 1.0 Global Knowledge Graph GKG

The GDELT 1.0 Global Knowledge Graph begins April 1, 2013, and consists of two parallel data streams, one encoding the entire knowledge graph with all of its fields, and the other encoding only the subset of the graph that records counts of a set of predefined categories like the number of protesters, the number killed, or number displaced or sickened. Such counts may occur independently of the CAMEO events in the primary GDELT event stream, such as mentions of those killed in industrial accidents which are not captured in CAMEO or those displaced by a natural disaster or sickened by a disease epidemic. In this way, the GKG Counts File can be used to produce a daily Death Tracker to map all mentions of death across the world each day, or an Affected Tracker to indicate how many persons were sickened, displaced, or stranded each day.
