Building Knowledge Graphs: A Practitioner's Guide

by Jesús Barrasa, Jim Webber

Incredibly useful, knowledge graphs help organizations keep track of medical research, cybersecurity threat intelligence, GDPR compliance, web user engagement, and much more. They do so by storing interlinked descriptions of entities—objects, events, situations, or abstract concepts—and encoding the underlying information. How do you create a knowledge graph? And how do you move it from theory into production?

Using hands-on examples, this practical book shows data scientists and data engineers how to build their own knowledge graphs. Authors Jesús Barrasa and Jim Webber from Neo4j illustrate common patterns for building knowledge graphs that solve many of today’s pressing knowledge management problems. You’ll quickly discover how these graphs become increasingly useful as you add data and augment them with algorithms and machine learning.

Learn the organizing principles necessary to build a knowledge graphExplore how graph databases serve as a foundation for knowledge graphsUnderstand how to import structured and unstructured data into your graphFollow examples to build integration-and-search knowledge graphsLearn what pattern detection knowledge graphs help you accomplishExplore dependency knowledge graphs through examplesUse examples of natural language knowledge graphs and chatbotsUse graph algorithms and ML to gain insight into connected data

Intro to neo4j db

Pretty sure graphs will be shortly introduced for LLM applications, they’re superior to determine provenance and trust than the simple RAG systems being built today.
