Overview
You may not control a global graph, but you influence facts through authoritative pages and consistent identifiers.
Quick definition
A knowledge graph stores entities and relationships (nodes and edges). AI systems use graphs—public and proprietary—to ground summaries and reduce contradictions when answering factual questions.
Definition
Graphs combine sources: Wikidata, registries, maps, and partner data.
Why it matters
Conflicting edges (e.g., two addresses) propagate into bad answers.
Core framework
Single source per fact
Designate canonical pages for address, hours, leadership.
Step-by-step breakdown
Fact inventory
Export key fields; resolve duplicates across departments.
Real-world examples
A university synced department sites to a central registry; AI campus answers stabilized.
Common mistakes
- Letting departments publish conflicting addresses.
