- The author has been optimistic about using graph databases for law since November 2024.
- Legal work involves fewer documents (dozens) compared to codebases, reducing graph system overhead.
- It uses defined entities and standardized taxonomies like Noslegal, fitting graph ontologies.
- Graphs provide infrastructure for AI agents, offering precomputed entity maps to guide and speed up processes.
- They serve as a 'skeleton' for agent thinking, anchoring relationships to reduce hallucinations.
- Legal work requires structured error mitigation; graph ontologies are intuitive for both humans and AI.
