## 3. ENTITY EXTRACTION

### 3.1 Extraction Prompt

```python
ENTITY_EXTRACTION_PROMPT = """
Extract all entities and relationships from the following text.

Entity Types:
- PERSON: Named individuals
- ORGANIZATION: Companies, teams, groups
- CONCEPT: Technical concepts, patterns, architectures
- EVENT: Actions, decisions, changes
- TECHNOLOGY: Frameworks, tools, languages
- DOCUMENT: Files, specs, requirements

Relationship Types:
- WORKS_FOR: Person → Organization
- CREATED_BY: Entity → Person/Organization
- RELATED_TO: Any → Any
- DEPENDS_ON: Technology → Technology
- IMPLEMENTS: Code → Concept
- REFERENCES: Document → Document

Output Format:
ENTITIES:
- [TYPE] "Name": Description

RELATIONSHIPS:
- ("Entity1") -[RELATIONSHIP]-> ("Entity2")

Text:
{text}
"""
```

### 3.2 Extraction with LLM

```python
from langchain_anthropic import ChatAnthropic
from pydantic import BaseModel
from typing import List

class Entity(BaseModel):
    name: str
    type: str
    description: str

class Relationship(BaseModel):

## 4. KNOWLEDGE GRAPH STORAGE

### 4.1 Graph Database Options

| Database | Type | Best For | Latency |
|----------|------|----------|---------|
| **Neo4j** | Native Graph | Complex queries | <50ms |
| **Neptune** | AWS Managed | AWS ecosystem | <100ms |
| **ArangoDB** | Multi-model | Flexibility | <100ms |
| **Memgraph** | In-memory | Real-time | <10ms |
| **FalkorDB** | Vector+Graph | Hybrid search | <50ms |

### 4.2 Neo4j Schema

```cypher
// Entity nodes
CREATE (e:Entity {
    id: "entity-uuid",
    name: "Authentication",
    type: "CONCEPT",
    description: "User authentication system",
    embedding: [0.1, 0.2, ...]  // Vector embedding
})

// Relationships
MATCH (a:Entity {name: "JWT"}), (b:Entity {name: "Authentication"})
CREATE (a)-[:IMPLEMENTS {weight: 0.9}]->(b)

// Community membership
MATCH (e:Entity {name: "JWT"})
SET e.community_id = "auth-community-1"

## 5. COMMUNITY DETECTION

        "level_1": communities_l1.communities,

### 5.2 Community Summarization

```python
COMMUNITY_SUMMARY_PROMPT = """
Summarize the following community of related entities.

Community Entities:
{entities}

Key Relationships:
{relationships}

Create a concise summary that:
1. Describes what this community represents
2. Highlights key entities and their roles
3. Explains main relationships
4. Provides context for how this community fits in the broader system

## 9. PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS

### 9.1 Cost Comparison

| Operation | GraphRAG | Traditional RAG |
|-----------|----------|-----------------|
| **Indexing** | 5-10x higher (LLM extraction) | Lower |
| **Query (simple)** | Similar | Slightly faster |
| **Query (complex)** | 2-3x faster | Slower or fails |
| **Storage** | 2-3x higher | Lower |
| **Maintenance** | More complex | Simpler |

### 9.2 Optimization Strategies

| Strategy | Benefit | When |
|----------|---------|------|
| **Incremental indexing** | -80% compute | Updates |
| **Community caching** | -50% latency | Hot queries |
| **Pruning old relationships** | -30% storage | Weekly |
| **Embedding compression** | -40% memory | Scale |

## 10. ANTI-PATTERNS

| Anti-Pattern | Problem | Solution |
|--------------|---------|----------|
| **Over-extraction** | Too many entities | Filter by relevance score |
| **Flat graph** | No hierarchy | Use community detection |
| **No embeddings** | Slow search | Embed entities |
| **Ignoring updates** | Stale graph | Incremental refresh |
| **All global search** | Miss details | Hybrid approach |
| **No pruning** | Graph bloat | Periodic cleanup |
