Core Concepts

What cognee does is not trivial, nor is it rocket surgery.

These fundamental concepts will help you understand how cognee works and how to leverage its capabilities effectively.

We will explain the key components and principles that power cognee’s knowledge graph system.

• Architecture shows cognee’s system design, components, and how they work together to create a powerful knowledge graph platform.
• Pipelines are the data processing workflows that transform raw information into structured knowledge graphs.
• Chunking is how cognee breaks down large datasets into manageable pieces for efficient processing and analysis.
• Data Ingestion can import and process data from various sources to build comprehensive knowledge graphs.
• Graph Generation is the process of creating and maintaining semantic knowledge graphs from your data.
• Ontologies structure and organize knowledge in meaningful ways.
• Data Management (CRUD) shows you how to think about interacting with cognee from an other service.
