With the 2021 Q4 release of ArcGIS Enterprise comes a new optional capability for graph analytics: ArcGIS Knowledge. This extension seamlessly provides powerful new graph analysis capabilities to your ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9.1 environment through ArcGIS Pro.

ArcGIS Knowledge visualizes data as well as the relationships that connect different data points to each other.

So, what is a knowledge graph? A knowledge graph is comprised of people, places, or other types of entities, and the relationships that connect them in a graph network. This allows users to see their data in context and reveal patterns and relationships that may have previously been unknown. Analysis can be visualized as link charts, histograms, or displayed on a map for geospatial context.

ArcGIS Knowledge connects ArcGIS Pro to the enterprise ArcGIS Data Store graph store, enabling users to explore and analyze spatial, nonspatial, unstructured, and structured data to accelerate decision-making. This new enterprise graph store maintains  not only your data, but also the equally important connections (or “relationships”) between different data points (or “entities”).

A traceback investigation helps to visually organize entities by type, in this case to visualize a food supply chain.

When data and their connections are managed in this way, users can explore patterns and relationships across vast amounts of information more quickly and efficiently. ArcGIS Knowledge enables analysts to create, edit, interrogate, and analyze knowledge graphs to assist in investigations within industries ranging from AEC, Financial Services, Manufacturing, Oil & Gas, and Government.
