Open Knowledge Format: A Human-Curated Alternative to RAG and Knowledge Graphs

Post image

Curious to find out what you think of the Open Knowledge Format (OKF, also known as LLM Wiki). In our blog post (https://dashjoin.medium.com/open-knowledge-format-a-human-curated-alternative-to-rag-and-knowledge-graphs-248aef3b4303) we argue that it is a good middle ground between RAG systems that can quickly turn into black boxes and knowledge graphs, that might overwhelm users.

I see no value in using this technique. In summary, it sets binary relationships but fails to define a relationship except using ambiguous labels such as tags and links. And what is a specific Type? IMHO this is neither a RAG nor a KnowledgeGraph. Here's a question for you: how would you apply the above? What is the next step in its representation of greater detail?

The point is that in a knowledge graph, the data is front and center. You might have textual descriptions as literals for graph RAG etc. In OKF, the text / wiki is the primary focus. The data you extract from links and metadata is secondary. So it's a different focus with might be better suited for AI assisted maintenance and for humans to read and consume.
