GLOSSARY

A structured representation of entities, their attributes and the relationships between them, organised for machine querying and reuse.

They connect fragmented data around shared entities, supporting search, recommendations, analytics, integration, traceability and context for AI systems.

A company graph links customers, contracts, products, support cases and owners through stable identifiers so authorised teams can query relationships across source systems.

A graph is not automatically true or complete. Entity matching errors, stale relationships, weak provenance, access-control failures and poorly governed ontologies can propagate misleading results.

Knowledge graphs commonly model facts as nodes and typed edges or subject–predicate–object statements. Identifiers, schemas or ontologies, provenance and entity resolution help combine data; graph query languages and reasoning can retrieve or infer connected information.
