A network of entities (people, organisations, projects, etc.) and their relationships, extracted from a document corpus.
Knowledge Graph
A knowledge graph is a network of entities (people, organisations, projects, locations, amounts, dates) and the relationships between them, extracted automatically from a document corpus.
Papyrus's knowledge graph identifies entities mentioned across documents and links them:
- Jane Doe (Person) → Acme Ltd (Organisation) — relationship:
Director, source: Board Minute 2026-04 - Acme Ltd (Organisation) → Procurement Tender 2026-01 (Document) — relationship:
Bidder, source: Tender Evaluation Report - Procurement Tender 2026-01 (Document) → Service Contract 2026-Q2 (Document) — relationship:
Resulted in, source: Award Memo
The graph enables queries that traverse relationships: "What's our exposure with Jane Doe's other directorships?", “Show me all documents linked to Project Orion across the last 18 months”.
The knowledge graph is built and maintained automatically — you don't manually link entities. Accuracy improves as more documents are ingested.
