Knowledge Graphs

Choose a goal, then follow each stage as an ordered, explained outline.

Learning goal

Learn deeply

Build a durable mental model, then transfer it into a working application.

Foundation

Stage purpose: Establish the vocabulary and first working mental model.

Required background: Complete the linked prerequisites below or bring equivalent experience.

Expected outcome: Explain the core idea and use it in a small example.

Estimated time: 30 minutes

  1. Lesson · Estimated time: 30 minutes

    Knowledge Graphs & Graph RAG

    Outcomes
    • Explain the core idea in Knowledge Graphs & Graph RAG
    • Apply Knowledge Graphs & Graph RAG in a representative exercise

    Prerequisites: No prerequisite topics

    Evidence: Practise the outcome in code and record what you learned.

    Current status: Not started

    Recommended next: Knowledge Graph Primitives & Graph RAG with Neo4j — Carry the Knowledge Graphs & Graph RAG mental model into the next step with a concrete transfer exercise.

Core concepts

Stage purpose: Connect the concepts into a repeatable problem-solving model.

Required background: Complete the linked prerequisites below or bring equivalent experience.

Expected outcome: Apply the model to a representative exercise without copying a recipe.
