With the latest versions of ArcGIS Knowledge Server, the ArcGIS Data Store and ArcGIS Knowledge-supporting applications, organizations can now host larger knowledge graphs with hundreds of millions of connected objects, as well as more smaller knowledge graphs, with more reliability for users. <\/span><\/p>\n Analysts can more easily create, explore, and manage their graphs in ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS AllSource, and Knowledge Studio in some of the following ways:<\/p>\n With this release, ArcGIS now offers a three-machine cluster deployment option for your hosted ArcGIS Enterprise ArcGIS Data Store graph store. <\/span>The new three-machine cluster deployment makes the backend more resilient and scalable by:<\/p>\n With these enhancements comes a licensing change<\/a> for ArcGIS Knowledge starting with the ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5 release. Users of large production deployments of ArcGIS Knowledge that need to scale their ArcGIS Data Store graph store beyond the 24 total cores included with the Knowledge Server license will need to purchase additional cores. For users that are still using ArcGIS Enterprise at versions 10.9.1 – 11.4, they will be able to continue using their existing ArcGIS Data Store graph store set up with no limits to the machine sizes.<\/p>\n As these changes come with many improvements, including the improved reliability and scalability of ArcGIS Knowledge, we encourage all users to upgrade to ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5 to take advantage of these new features.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":" With the ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5 release, Knowledge Studio has expanded its entity-centric exploration capabilities and improved usability in the following ways:<\/p>\n Starting with ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5, sharing link chart views as independent items on the web has gotten much easier. This new capability allows users to instantly create a viewer for their web link charts using ArcGIS Instant Apps. After creating a web link chart viewer Instant App using the “Basic” template, users can then embed that app in other ArcGIS applications like StoryMaps, Dashboards, or other custom web applications.<\/p>\n This new capability makes it easier for users to quickly share the results of their analysis in an interactive, no-code ArcGIS application. More importantly, it allows the user to chose how exactly they want to share different views of their knowledge graph. Previously, users would have to grant access to an entire Knowledge Studio project if they wished to share their link chart views, or users would have to import multiple link charts into their own Projects with other users, collaborators, or stakeholders. Now, they can create a web link chart viewer instant app that provides “view access” only to the data that they want to share without granting access to the entire Knowledge Studio project or knowledge graph. It also supports symbology across ArcGIS applications.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2798632,"id":2798632,"title":"11.5_InstantApp_webLinkChartViewer_cropped","filename":"11.5_InstantApp_webLinkChartViewer_cropped.gif","filesize":9920237,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/11.5_InstantApp_webLinkChartViewer_cropped.gif","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-knowledge\/announcements\/whats-new-in-arcgis-knowledge-11-5\/11-5_instantapp_weblinkchartviewer_cropped","alt":"View web Link Charts anywhere with the Instant App Basic Template and embed it in other ArcGIS web apps.","author":"9602","description":"","caption":"View web Link Charts anywhere with the Instant App Basic Template and embed it in other ArcGIS web apps.","name":"11-5_instantapp_weblinkchartviewer_cropped","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2702292,"date":"2025-05-20 02:48:10","modified":"2025-05-20 04:14:42","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/gif","type":"image","subtype":"gif","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1598,"height":898,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/11.5_InstantApp_webLinkChartViewer_cropped-213x200.gif","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/11.5_InstantApp_webLinkChartViewer_cropped.gif","medium-width":464,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/11.5_InstantApp_webLinkChartViewer_cropped.gif","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":432,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/11.5_InstantApp_webLinkChartViewer_cropped.gif","large-width":1598,"large-height":898,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/11.5_InstantApp_webLinkChartViewer_cropped-1536x863.gif","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":863,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/11.5_InstantApp_webLinkChartViewer_cropped.gif","2048x2048-width":1598,"2048x2048-height":898,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/11.5_InstantApp_webLinkChartViewer_cropped-826x465.gif","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/11.5_InstantApp_webLinkChartViewer_cropped.gif","wide_image-width":1598,"wide_image-height":898}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":" How to create your own Link Chart viewer app:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Developers should note that this capability leverages the <\/span><\/span>new web link chart viewer component<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span> available to all web developers using the Maps SDK for JavaScript.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":" In our work with networks, or knowledge graphs \u2014whether that\u2019s supply chains, social connections, or logistics\u2014it\u2019s often important to know which things are most \u201ccentral\u201d or influential in the system. That\u2019s what Centrality<\/strong> scores tell us. They help us figure out which nodes (like people, products, or trucks) are most connected or most important.<\/p>\n Previously, these Centrality algorithms were based mostly on how many<\/strong> connections something had (direct and indirect). For example, a truck might seem important just because it carries a large number of orders or contains a lot of items. Now, the enhanced Centrality tool in ArcGIS desktop applications can make scores smarter by adding weights<\/strong> to the connections. A \u201cweight\u201d is just a value that tells us something about the importance or cost of a connection. Instead of treating all products or customers the same, we can consider how valuable they are or how urgent the delivery is.<\/p>\n Real-World Example: Choosing Which Truck to Unload<\/strong><\/p>\n It’s the end of the day. Three delivery trucks have arrived at our warehouse, and we can only unload one of them before our overnight deliveries go out. Which truck should we unload?<\/p>\n Luckily, we have a graph digital twin of our supply chain operations. Here\u2019s what our network looks like:<\/p>\n Each Shipment<\/strong> contains Orders<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Orders include Products<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Products were purchased by Customers<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Before, we might have picked the truck with the most items or customers. But that might not be the best choice.<\/p>\n Now, with weighted Centrality<\/strong>, we can add more meaning:<\/p>\n We can give more weight to products with high dollar value.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n We can prioritize customers who have a special service agreement with us.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n So instead of just counting, we\u2019re now measuring what matters<\/strong>\u2014value and priority. The Centrality score becomes a better reflection of which truck has the most important<\/strong> cargo.<\/p>\n How does it work?<\/strong><\/p>\n Available starting in ArcGIS Pro 3.5 and ArcGIS AllSource 1.4, the new weighted Centrality options allows analysts to assign “weight” properties based on the number properties on the relationships present in the active link chart.<\/p>\n Analysts can assign a property with a Number Data Field Type<\/a> as an “Importance” weight and as “Cost” weight, effecting the impact of the property on certain Centrality scores positively or negatively, respectively. With the the new weighted Centrality feature, we can assign an “Importance” weight to each relationship. For example, we can assign an “Importance” based on the dollar value of each Product or a 1-5 rating based on the service-level-agreement we have with each customer. The new weighted Centrality algorithm could then aggregate those property values across each relationship into new Centrality scores. The resulting weighted Centrality scores would then indicate a better priority score for each truck based on how many higher value products are in the truck or the number of items purchased by our most important customers.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":" ArcGIS Knowledge provides organizations with the flexibility they need to support a variety of use cases.

This enables users to create, discuss and iterate on their graph data models in a more intuitive interface before loading data into their knowledge graphs.
