What is a Knowledge Graph?

A Knowledge Graph is a structured database that represents information as a network of interconnected entities and their relationships. It stores facts in the form of triplets: subject-relationship-object (e.g., "Madrid - is capital of - Spain" or "Albert Einstein - born in - Germany"). This graph-based structure allows computers to understand connections between different pieces of information. Knowledge Graphs power many applications like search results, recommendation systems, and virtual assistants by enabling them to answer complex questions and discover indirect relationships between entities.
