GraphRAG Pattern Catalog

GraphRAG is a collection of RAG access patterns which target different layers of a knowledge graph.

Contributing

The documentation is structured in accordance with Diátaxis principles.

• "Concepts" explain high-level ideas
• "Guides" are how-to guides that provide problem solving directions
• "Reference" are technical descriptions of what things are
• "Tutorials" are complete examples that bring everything together
• "Glossary" defines relevant terminology

Consider this priority order of contribution:

1. Glossary - everything gets a glossary entry

• terse definitions of terminology and names
• reference citations and attribution where appropriate
• for example, define "vector embedding"
• add the entry to /src/content/docs/appendices/glossary.mdx

2. Reference - some glossary entries are expanded on with reference material

• describe what something is
• provide an illustration
• reference related reference material :)
• for example, describe what a vector embedding is
• add a page under /src/content/docs/reference
• use the template /src/content/docs/reference/template.md

3. Guide - some reference material gets a how-to guide

• process-oriented, how to achieve a specific goal
• try to be implementation independent
• reference relevant reference material
• for example, how to perform vector similarity search
• add a page under /src/content/docs/guides
• use the template /src/content/docs/guides/template.md

4. ~~Tutorial - some how-to guides can be combined into tutorials~~

• prefer to reference/link to tutorials where appropriate and available
• ~~walk through a complete example, including data~~
• ~~still try to be implementation independent~~
• ~~for example, chat with a PDF~~
• ~~add a page under /src/content/docs/tutorials~~
• ~~use the template /src/content/docs/tutorials/template.md~~

Research papers

Add relevant research papers from ArXiv by adding an entry to papers.json with the arxivid and an optional github org/repo combination.

Media assets

All diagrams are created using Excalidraw. Original source files are saved under /media and exported SVG images in /src/assets/images.
