Why RDF Is the Natural Knowledge Layer for AI Systems

- Knowledge graphs triple LLM accuracy on enterprise data by providing explicit relationships and rich context.
- RDF (Resource Description Framework) is the natural endpoint for knowledge representation due to its global identifiers (IRIs) and semantic clarity.
- LLMs struggle with traditional SQL databases because they infer relationships from cryptic column names and lack semantic clarity.
- Building a custom knowledge graph without RDF leads to reinventing core features like global identifiers and data federation protocols.
- IRIs (International Resource Identifiers) provide globally unique, dereferenceable, and hierarchical identifiers, solving the identity problem in knowledge graphs.
- Enterprises that avoid RDF end up spending years and millions building inferior solutions that converge on RDF-like features.
- Proper identity management in knowledge graphs enables LLMs to traverse relationships confidently, disambiguate entities, and attribute sources.
- RDF's triple structure mirrors natural language, making it easier for LLMs and humans to understand and process information.
- Key benefits of RDF include global uniqueness, dereferenceability, and hierarchical organization, which are critical for scalable knowledge graphs.
- Starting with RDF saves time and resources, as evidenced by successful implementations at BBC, Uber, and Google.
