Personal Knowledge Graphs

[vpavlyshyn]

Personal Knowledge Graphs is relatively new but very powerful concept
We have a good and powerful tools in logseq like databases with granularity of pages and blocks but we overlook power of links.
If we will add the ability to add metadata and captions to a links and add a bit of capability to display metadata on graph view - we jump to a completely new Knowledge Management space.

Sorry but this request sounds a bit redundant and more vague if compared to another one by you, where I pointed out that properties are already labels for links:

Links as a first class citizens for Personal Knowledge Graphs

@vpavlyshyn if you mean semantic triples it’s what RDF is all about and in Logseq we use Properties for that: Page key:: value - Block key:: value where key is the label of the relation and value can be a page or block reference. Once you export the graph as RDF you can feed a LLM like Llama with it and query your graph like you would with ChatGPT:

If you want labels on edges on graph view, I think it is covered by this request:

Improve Graph View: Relationship Types, Link Styling and Graph Parameters like in Cosma

The usability of logseq’s graph view could be vastly improved by taking acue from open source knowledge graphing tool cosma. Specifically, it has Link styling and relationship types Styling links in the graph view - from Cosma dos: Within a record, you link to another record by writing its identifier between double brackets. Example: A link to [[20201209111625]] record B. Cosma allows you to define link types. Each link type is defined by a name, a colour and a stroke pattern. To apply a…

If you don’t like properties and their syntax, here I proposed a syntax for inline properties that should fit your concept of links with a label:

Syntax for inline properties::

From the discussion here I think we have a cool proposal. We want this syntax: - [[title::The Picture of Dorian Gray]] is a [[type::book]] written by [[author::Oscar Wilde]]. as a more compact way to write this block: - type:: book title:: The Picture of Dorian Gray author:: Oscar Wilde [[The Picture of Dorian Gray]] is a [[book]] written by [[Oscar Wilde]]. Rendered, with links, as: The Picture of Dorian Gray is a book written by Oscar Wilde. So it’s rendered just like: - [[Th…

You know what would be useful? If the graph view had a button to toggle all the edges except the ones made with page properties. That way the graph view would be less of a mess, the user would have full control of the relations and it would make sense to display labels on all the edges. I think I will open a feature request, I haven’t seen anything like that so far.

Edit, done:

Graph view: toggle button to display only references from properties

Many users are confused by the graph view because they expect to be more in control of edges between each node. The current graph view makes sense if you have a large amount of pages, this way you could see clusters that makes sense. That’s all. With a toggle button in graph view that disable all the edges except the ones made from page properties, the user could feel much more in control of this graph structure. Only references like this, in page properties, would result in an edge in the gr…
