You have probably heard the term "knowledge graph" thrown around. But what does it actually mean, and how can it help your organization?
What is a Knowledge Graph?
A knowledge graph is a way of representing information as a network of interconnected entities. Instead of organizing data in hierarchical folders, we connect things through relationships.
Entities and Relationships
In a knowledge graph, you have two main components: entities (people, documents, processes, tools) and relationships (works on, owns, collaborates with, related to). This structure mirrors how we naturally think about knowledge.
