Graph Database
by Igor Nikolaienko

Graph RAG is becoming popular and adds a strong


boost to traditional search methods (Vector- and
Keyword Search). It uses graph databases, which
organize data as connected nodes and relationships,
to improve the depth and context of the information it
finds.
While there are various Graph DBs available today,
Neo4j is one of the leading providers. Its graph DB is
highly scalable and free to use as open-source.
Graph RAG Architecture
by Igor Nikolaienko

In Graph RAG, a user request is directed to RAG


Retriever which first searches in Vector DB using
keywords and vector similarity. This search is
complemented by information retrieved from a
Knowledge Graph DB. Since Neo4j can manage all
retrieval methods, effectively only one database is
needed. Finally, the collected data from text and
knowledge graph is fed into a language model for
answer generation.

Knowledge Graph Entity
by Igor Nikolaienko

In a knowledge graph, entities are represented as


nodes. Entities can be people, places, organizations,
products, concepts, events, or any other elements that
have meaningful relationships with other entities.

Entities and their relationships provide context to the


information, helping the generation model understand
and generate more accurate and contextually relevant
responses compared to using basic RAG text chunks.
Graph RAG Pros & Cons
by Igor Nikolaienko

Graph representations are ideal for contexts involving


well-defined, structured relationships between
entities, such as products, companies, and market
segments. They excel at representing and querying
complex relationships, making them useful for scena-
rios with numerous interconnections, such as supply
chains, competitor analysis, and customer
interactions.

However, for very large and complex knowledge


pools, graph representations can become unmana-
geable, making retrieval and updating difficult. If the
relationships between entities are sparse or simple, a
graph database might be overkill, and simpler data
structures such as Vector DB might be sufficient.
