Documentation Knowledge Graph
Summary
The knowledge graph treats pages and product artifacts as typed nodes connected by explicit relationships. It supports navigation, impact analysis, search facets, ownership lookup, and evidence-grounded AI reasoning.
Audience
- Documentation and automation maintainers
- Developers, architects, product owners, and operations teams
Reference Content
The module chain is an illustrative graph shape, not a claim that every shown runtime dependency is implemented. Actual edges must be populated only from verified source or approved architecture.
Node types
- Documentation page
- Module and feature
- Service and bounded context
- Business process
- API operation or contract
- Event contract
- Database entity or owned data set
- UI page or component
- Architecture decision or component
- Runbook and troubleshooting scenario
- Repository and source artifact
- Release/version
- Owner/team
Edge types
| Relationship | Meaning |
|---|---|
depends_on | Node requires an upstream node |
used_by | Known downstream node uses this node |
uses | Node calls, reads, or relies on another node |
produces | Node emits an event or artifact |
consumes | Node receives an event or artifact |
extends | Node adds behavior or detail to another node |
documents | Page describes a product or operational node |
implements | Service/source realizes a module, feature, or contract |
references | Page or node links to supporting information |
Edges are directional and evidence-backed. Reciprocal metadata such as depends_on and used_by should be reconciled by automation, not assumed by authors.
