Knowledge Graph Discovery System Implementation Plan

Project Overview

The Knowledge Graph Discovery System aims to automatically extract structured knowledge from the Verizon website and build a comprehensive knowledge graph. The system follows ethical web scraping practices while efficiently creating a valuable knowledge resource that represents entities, relationships, and attributes found in the website content.

Current Progress

As of now, we have successfully implemented the following components of the system:

1. Environment Setup

   • Created a conda environment with Python 3.10
   • Installed all required dependencies via uv pip
   • Set up logging configuration
   • Created a requirements.txt file

2. Data Ingestion Layer

   • Implemented the RobotsAnalyzer for parsing robots.txt files
   • Implemented the URLHistoryTracker for maintaining URL history
   • Implemented the PDFExtractor for handling PDF documents
   • Implemented the EnhancedDataIngestionAgent with section-based crawling

3. Knowledge Extraction Layer

   • Implemented the InformationExtractionAgent for entity and relationship extraction
   • Integrated with spaCy for NLP tasks

4. Schema Discovery

   • Implemented the SchemaDiscoveryAgent for discovering entity and relationship types
   • Created methods for schema generation based on extracted information

5. Graph Construction

   • Implemented the GraphConstructionAgent for building the knowledge graph
   • Implemented the NetworkXHandler for graph operations
   • Added methods for graph statistics and visualization

6. Neo4j Integration

   • Implemented the Neo4jHandler for Neo4j integration
   • Added methods for importing NetworkX graphs into Neo4j
   • Created example Cypher queries for graph exploration

7. Graph Enrichment

   • Implemented the GraphEnrichmentAgent for enhancing the knowledge graph
   • Added methods for inferring additional relationships

8. Jupyter Notebook Demo

   • Created a comprehensive demo notebook that showcases the entire knowledge graph discovery process
   • Implemented code for each step with appropriate explanations
