GraphRAG (Knowledge Graph RAG)
Retrieval pattern that uses a knowledge graph as a structured backbone, often alongside vector search.
What is GraphRAG (Knowledge Graph RAG)?
GraphRAG (also called Knowledge Graph RAG) treats entities, relationships, and properties as first-class retrieval targets. It outperforms pure vector retrieval on multi-hop and relational questions — policy applicability, contract obligations, supply chain dependencies — and combines well with vector retrieval in hybrid setups. See Knowledge Graph RAG.
