What is the memify operation

The .memify operation enriches existing knowledge graphs by extracting derived facts and creating new associations from your already-processed data. Unlike Add and Cognify, memify works on existing graph structures to add semantic understanding and deeper contextual relationships.
  • Graph enrichment: operates on existing knowledge graphs created by Cognify
  • Derived facts: creates new nodes and edges from existing context without re-ingesting data
  • Semantic enhancement: adds coding rules, associations, and other derived knowledge
  • Pipeline-based: uses extraction and enrichment tasks to process subgraphs
  • Incremental: can be run multiple times to add new derived facts as needed

Where memify fits

Use .memify after you’ve completed the AddCognify workflow:
  • Prerequisites: requires an existing knowledge graph with chunks, embeddings, and graph structure
  • Enhancement phase: adds semantic understanding and derived facts to your existing data
  • Optional enrichment: not required for basic search, but adds valuable context and associations

What happens under the hood

The .memify pipeline processes your existing knowledge graph through two main phases:
  1. Extraction phase — pulls relevant subgraphs or chunks from your existing knowledge graph
  2. Enrichment phase — applies enrichment tasks to create new nodes and edges from existing context
The default memify tasks include:
  • Extract subgraph chunks: identifies relevant portions of your graph for processing
  • Add rule associations: creates coding rules and other derived facts from the extracted context

After memify finishes

When .memify completes:
  • New derived facts are added to your knowledge graph as additional nodes and edges
  • Enhanced searchability: specialized search types like SearchType.CODING_RULES become available
  • Richer context: your existing data now includes semantic associations and derived knowledge
  • No data re-ingestion: all enrichment happens on your existing graph structure
