Knowledge Graph

A network of entities and relationships used to understand the world.

What it means

A knowledge graph is a structured representation of real-world entities, people, places, organizations, products, and the relationships between them. Google's Knowledge Graph famously powers knowledge panels and helps disambiguate entities in search. AI systems use knowledge-graph-style representations to reason about entities, which is why clear entity signals and structured data help models correctly recognize and cite your brand.
