Ontologies
Learn how to upload or build new ontologies to structure your knowledge graphs.
An ontology acts as the schema for your knowledge graph. It defines the types of entities (like "Company" or "Person") and the relationships between them (like "invested in" or "works at"). You can either upload a pre-existing ontology or build a new one directly within the Console.
Uploading an Existing Ontology
If you already have an ontology file, you can easily add it to your workspace:
Navigate to the Ontologies page.
Open the console’s Ontologies page.
The uploaded ontology will now be available to use when you build a new knowledge graph.
Building a New Ontology
The Console can generate a new ontology from a source document, tailored to a specific use case.
Ontology building consumes usage on the Early Access plan ( Plans & Billing ).
Navigate to the Ontologies page.
Open the console’s Ontologies page.
Start the Job
Click the "Build Ontology" button to begin the process.
Select a File
Choose an uploaded source document to act as the foundation for the ontology.
Describe the Use Case
Provide a concise sentence that describes your specific need to guide how the data will be structured. A good use case specifies what information is needed, and why (for what purpose).
Try the formula: "I want to [action] [specific data] in order to [business goal]."
The more specific you are, the more useful your ontology will be.
For example:
- Insurance: “Identify specific coverages, exclusions, and deductible limits within policies to determine if a specific claim event is covered.”
- Pharmaceutical: “Extract and link drug specifications, clinical trial results, and manufacturing headers to ensure they meet official regulatory checklists.”
Select Languages
Choose the primary language(s) of your source text.
Submit
The Console will initiate an ontology building job. Once complete, the new ontology will appear in your list.
Deleting an Ontology
To remove an ontology, simply find it in the list and click the delete icon.
