HRA Knowledge Graph v2.4

The Human Reference Atlas (HRA) for the healthy, adult body is being developed by a team of international, interdisciplinary experts across 20+ consortia. It provides standard terminologies and data structures for describing specimens, biological structures, and spatial positions of experimental datasets and ontology-linked reference anatomical structures (AS), cell types (CT), and biomarkers (B). We introduce the HRA Knowledge Graph (KG) as central data resource for the HRA, supporting cross-scale, biological queries to Resource Description Framework graphs using SPARQL. In April 2025, the HRA KG covers 71 organs with 5,800 AS, 2,268 CTs, 2,531 Bs; it has 10,064,033 nodes, 171,250,177 edges, and a size of 125.84 GB. The HRA KG comprises 13 types of Digital Objects (DOs) using the Common Coordinate Framework Ontology to standardize core concepts and relationships across DOs. We (1) provide data and code for HRA KG construction; (2) detail HRA KG deployment by Linked Open Data principles; and (3) illustrate HRA KG usage via application programming interfaces, user interfaces, data products.
