# Introduction to a Temporal Graph Benchmark

## TL;DR

This paper introduces a new temporal graph benchmark based on Wikipedia reference data, addressing the lack of datasets with interval labels for edges, to facilitate temporal graph analysis.

## Contribution

It presents a novel temporal graph dataset with interval labels, filling a gap in available benchmarks for temporal graph research.

## Key findings

- Provides a detailed description of the Wikipedia-based temporal graph dataset.
- Fills a gap in existing datasets by including interval labels for edges.
- Facilitates future research in temporal graph analysis.

## Abstract

A temporal graph is a data structure, consisting of nodes and edges in which the edges are associated with time labels. To analyze the temporal graph, the first step is to find a proper graph dataset/benchmark. While many temporal graph datasets exist online, none could be found that used the interval labels in which each edge is associated with a starting and ending time. Therefore we create a temporal graph data based on Wikipedia reference graph for temporal analysis. This report aims to provide more details of this graph benchmark to those who are interested in using it.
