Technical Definition

A structured representation of knowledge as a network of entities and their relationships.

How it works

A knowledge graph organizes information into a graph structure, where nodes represent entities (e.g., people, places, concepts) and edges represent relationships between them (e.g., 'is a', 'works at'). This semantic network enables more sophisticated reasoning and retrieval than traditional databases. Knowledge graphs are used to enhance search engines, power recommendation systems, and provide context for AI models, offering a rich, interconnected understanding of data.
