Regional Knowledge Catalogs
26 gezk knowledge catalogs: portable, read-only reference corpora with full-text and vector indexes, each packaged as one .gezk file that Gezel and any gezk reader can search and cite offline. Every catalog is here twice — the archive, and the same content as Parquet tables for data tools.
Regional catalogs intentionally overlap. Document totals count regional copies; deduplicate across catalogs by publisher and document ID. Each document can have multiple location anchors.
Catalogs
53,155 documents in total.

Repository layout
<catalogId>/releases/<version>/<catalogId>-<version>.gezk the archive
<catalogId>/releases/<version>/manifest.json its manifest (profiles, topics, counts)
<catalogId>/releases/<version>/release.json digest, sizes, Parquet file list
<catalogId>/parquet/<version>/ the Parquet companionRelease and Parquet paths are immutable: a changed catalog is published as a new version, never over an old one.
Parquet companion
Each <catalogId>/parquet/<version>/ holds documents-NNN.parquet (one per shard: id, title, slug, summary, language, topicid, topicpath, chunkcount, markdown, sourceurl, sourcerevision, sourceupdatedat, attribution, aliases), `chunks-NNN.parquet` (chunkuid, documentid, ordinal, title, headingpath, headingtext, text, tokencount, contenthash, linestart, lineend, shardid, embedding, embedding_bit) and topics.parquet. Column names are the gezk table names. The Hub viewer exposes each catalog as two configs, <catalogId> (documents) and <catalogId>-chunks.
embedding is the int8 vector exactly as the archive stores it: dequantise with x = q / 127. embedding_bit is the stage-1 sign-bit vector (LSB-first) as the profile defines it: bit = (x − c) > 0, where c is embedding.quantization.binary.center in that release’s manifest.json. Written by DuckDB 1.5.5, deterministically: re-exporting an archive reproduces these bytes.

document-locations.parquet joins to documents on document_id. It stores stable location IDs, latitude and longitude in WGS84 degrees, subject or associated roles, and source provenance. Radius queries use subject anchors by default and an inclusive distance on a 6,371,000 metre sphere. A gezk 0.7 compatible reader is required for typed spatial queries.
