A context graph makes institutional knowledge and its rationale machine-readable. Agents can trace facts together with provenance, exceptions, and temporal validity.
Use this profile to understand the building block briefly, place it in the model, and open related building blocks.
Theoretical construct: explains a term, principle, or mental model.
What organizes, connects, or makes decisions possible.
A context graph enriches knowledge-graph relationships with details such as time, location and provenance.
The approach grew from knowledge graphs, provenance and the need to trace agentic decisions. Thoughtworks placed Context Graph on its Technology Radar in April 2026.
Give every graph edge a small file: when, where and from which source does this relationship hold?
Context attributes make relationships more useful for retrieval and reasoning.
Temporal validity and provenance make graph answers auditable.
Context graphs support more precise graph queries by evaluating relationships with their validity and provenance.
