The Structured Repository of Organizational Knowledge

The Knowledge Graph is the interconnected data structure that stores organizational knowledge in a form that AI agents can navigate and reason over—capturing not just data but the relationships between data that give it meaning. It provides the foundation for context assembly, enabling agents to gather relevant information for any decision.

Traditional databases store data in tables and rows optimized for transactions. Knowledge Graphs store information as entities and relationships optimized for traversal and inference. A customer in a relational database is a row with attributes. A customer in a Knowledge Graph is a node connected to products they've purchased, support tickets they've submitted, contracts they've signed, employees who serve them, and any other relevant relationships.

This graph structure enables queries that would be complex or impossible in relational systems. "Find all customers who purchased Product X and had support issues within 30 days" requires joining multiple tables in a relational system but is a natural graph traversal. "What's the relationship between this employee and this customer?" can be answered by finding paths through the graph. "What context is relevant for this decision?" becomes a question of which subgraph to extract.

For AI agents, Knowledge Graphs provide the context assembly substrate. When an agent needs to make a decision, it queries the Knowledge Graph for relevant entities and relationships. The graph structure ensures that the agent receives not just isolated data points but interconnected context that captures how things relate to each other.

Knowledge Graphs also support inference—deriving new knowledge from existing relationships. If the graph knows that Employee A manages Department B and Department B serves Customer C, it can infer that Employee A has an indirect relationship with Customer C. This inference capability means the graph "knows more than it stores"—implicit knowledge emerges from explicit relationships.

The Knowledge Graph in Context OS incorporates several types of information. Entity data represents organizational objects: customers, products, employees, systems, contracts. Relationship data represents connections: who owns what, who serves whom, what depends on what. Temporal data represents changes over time: when relationships started and ended, how entities have evolved. Decision data represents past decisions and their outcomes, creating Decision Lineage as a graph structure. Policy data represents organizational rules as navigable constraints.

Maintaining a Knowledge Graph requires ongoing curation. New entities must be added, relationships must be updated, obsolete information must be retired. This maintenance can be partially automated—extracting entities from documents, inferring relationships from transactions—but requires human oversight to ensure accuracy and quality.

The Knowledge Graph connects to the Organization World Model as its implementation substrate. The World Model is conceptual—the understanding of how the organization works. The Knowledge Graph is concrete—the stored information that embodies that understanding. When the World Model specifies that customers have contracts, the Knowledge Graph stores the specific customer-contract relationships.

Knowledge Graphs also enable explanation and audit. When a decision is questioned, the relevant subgraph can be extracted to show exactly what information informed the decision. This is more powerful than traditional audit logs because it shows relationships and context, not just data points.

Context OS uses the Knowledge Graph as the primary store for governed context. The graph is populated from enterprise systems through integrations, enriched with derived relationships through inference, and queried during context assembly to construct decision-specific context packages. This architecture ensures that all agents draw from a consistent, comprehensive knowledge foundation.

The Knowledge Graph represents organizational intelligence in computable form. Human organizations develop intelligence through accumulated experience—understanding how things connect, what patterns recur, where relationships matter. The Knowledge Graph captures this intelligence in a structure that AI agents can navigate, enabling them to benefit from organizational knowledge rather than operating in isolation.
