Data Graphs Asset Collection Type
Data Graphs is an asset collection type that supports general collections containing instances of classes defined in customer-specified ontologies. This means that an organization decides what data to store in a data graph.
When creating a new Data Graphs collection, the creator selects the (top-level) Ontology upon which it is based. Ontologies can include other ontologies by reference and when using Data Graphs a single top-level ontology that includes others is assumed. Users can then work with instances of classes from the selected ontologies that are:
Declared as being SHACL Node Shapes
Declared using public classes (directly, or through a superclass) in the GraphQL Schema section of the Ontology’s form, accessible using the “home” icon
TopBraid EDG Public Classes for Data Graphs

For details see SHACL Enablement
After creating a new Data Graph, the Main Class can be specified on the Manage tab if desired. This determines the default asset type (i.e. class) in the Search panel in the editor page. This setting can be changed at any time. All public ontology classes remain available in the type selector dialog.
