What Is a Knowledge Graph?
A knowledge graph is a network of entities (people, products, concepts) and the relationships between them, stored in a way that enables machines to traverse connections and reason about related information. Google's Knowledge Graph, for example, powers those information panels you see in search results.
How Do Businesses Use Knowledge Graphs?
Knowledge graphs help AI systems understand complex relationships: which customers are connected to which accounts, which products relate to which components, which regulations apply to which processes. Combined with RAG, knowledge graphs enable AI to answer multi-hop questions like "Which of our clients in healthcare have contracts expiring this quarter?" by traversing entity relationships.
