Understanding Knowledge Graphs
Knowledge graphs are at the heart of Moongraph. They visualize the relationships between entities extracted from your documents.
What is a Knowledge Graph?
A knowledge graph is a network of:
- Nodes — Entities like people, places, organizations, concepts
- Edges — Relationships connecting those entities
For example, a document mentioning "John Smith works at Acme Corp" creates:
- Node: John Smith (Person)
- Node: Acme Corp (Organization)
- Edge: "works at" connecting them
Graph Visualization
Moongraph provides an interactive graph viewer where you can:
- Zoom and pan — Navigate large graphs
- Click nodes — View entity details and source documents
- Filter by type — Show only specific entity types
- Search — Find specific entities in the graph
Graph Building
Graphs are built from your documents:
- Upload documents to Moongraph
- Create a new graph
- Select which documents to include
- Moongraph extracts entities and relationships automatically
Graph building uses AI to identify entities and relationships. Results improve with more context and clearer document content.
