[Demo] Tabular dataset demo: gene expression matrix linked to KG entities
Goal
Demonstrate tabular dataset support and KG cross-referencing with a concrete example: a differential gene expression table derived from SEA-AD data, where gene and cell_type columns are linked to KG entities.
Dataset Content
Create a tabular dataset artifact representing differential expression results:
| gene_symbol | cell_type | log_fold_change | adj_p_value | direction |
|---|
| TREM2 | microglia | 2.34 | 1.2e-15 | up |
| APOE | astrocyte | 1.87 | 3.4e-12 | up |
| SLC17A7 | excitatory_neuron | -1.45 | 8.7e-9 | down |
| GAD1 | inhibitory_neuron | -0.92 | 2.1e-6 | down |
| ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
Target: ~100-200 rows of curated differential expression results covering key AD-related genes.
Column Schema

Demo Walkthrough
Register tabular dataset with column schemas
Show derives_from link to parent SEA-AD dataset
Browse gene TREM2 in KG → show "Related Datasets" includes this table with log_fc=2.34
Browse cell type "microglia" in KG → show datasets mentioning microglia
Browse the tabular dataset → show KG coverage: "gene_symbol: 145/150 genes found in KG (96.7%)"
Click a gene in the dataset view → navigate to KG entity page with full neighborhoodAcceptance Criteria
☐ Tabular dataset registered with 5-column schema
☐ ~150 rows of curated differential expression data
☐ gene_symbol column linked to KG gene entities
☐ cell_type column linked to KG cell_type entities
☐ derives_from link to parent SEA-AD dataset artifact
☐ KG entity pages show this dataset in "Related Datasets"
☐ Dataset page shows KG coverage statistics per linked column
☐ Click-through navigation between dataset and KG views
☐ Work log updated with timestamped entry
Dependencies
- a17-22-TABL0001 (tabular dataset support)
- d16-21-DSET0001 (parent SEA-AD dataset must be registered first)

- Verified existing tabular dataset
tabular_dataset-b3889491-fc25-440e-863d-bc96f9d33c51
- Dataset has 128 rows (close to ~150 target)
- 5-column schema: gene_symbol, cell_type, log_fold_change, adj_p_value, direction
- gene_symbol linked to gene entities, cell_type linked to cell_type entities
- derives_from link to parent SEA-AD dataset (dataset-192467e0-fe96-43cb-a64f-e891cdcff111)
- Fixed bug in artifact_detail: html.escape() error when linked_entity_type is None
- Bug fix committed and pushed to main
- Result: Dataset demo page renders correctly at /artifact/tabular_dataset-b3889491-fc25-440e-863d-bc96f9d33c51
- Acceptance criteria partially met: dataset registered with schema, entity linking, derives_from link
- Remaining: KG entity pages integration, coverage stats, click-through navigation (separate features)
