Idea

A directed graph consists of a type of vertices equipped with a binary, type valued relation of edges. Alternatively, one can define a directed graph to consist of a type V of vertices, a type E of edges, and a map E → V × V determining the source and target of each edge.

To see that these two definitions are equivalent, recall that -types preserve equivalences and a type family is equivalent to by type duality. Using these two observations we make the following calculation:

Definition

Directed-Graph : (l1 l2 : Level) → UU (lsuc l1 ⊔ lsuc l2)
Directed-Graph l1 l2 = Σ (UU l1) (λ V → V → V → UU l2)

module _
  {l1 l2 : Level} (G : Directed-Graph l1 l2)
  where

  vertex-Directed-Graph : UU l1
  vertex-Directed-Graph = pr1 G

  edge-Directed-Graph : (x y : vertex-Directed-Graph) → UU l2
  edge-Directed-Graph = pr2 G

  total-edge-Directed-Graph : UU (l1 ⊔ l2)
  total-edge-Directed-Graph =
    Σ ( vertex-Directed-Graph)
      ( λ x → Σ vertex-Directed-Graph (edge-Directed-Graph x))

  source-total-edge-Directed-Graph :
    total-edge-Directed-Graph → vertex-Directed-Graph

  target-total-edge-Directed-Graph :
    total-edge-Directed-Graph → vertex-Directed-Graph
  target-total-edge-Directed-Graph e = pr1 (pr2 e)

  edge-total-edge-Directed-Graph :
    (e : total-edge-Directed-Graph) →
    edge-Directed-Graph
      ( source-total-edge-Directed-Graph e)
      ( target-total-edge-Directed-Graph e)
  edge-total-edge-Directed-Graph e = pr2 (pr2 e)
