Native Ontology Management in Neo4j

Session track: Data Intelligence

Session time:

Session description:

Neo4j is introducing native ontology management to support agentic AI architectures. In this session, we will introduce the new formal Ontology Graph Specification that you can use to create and work with ontologies in Neo4j. You will learn how we plan to persist ontologies, use them to enforce the graph schema, and manage them. We will also explore upcoming Aura tooling for visualizing and sharing ontologies. Join us to see how these new database-level primitives can help your agents reason about your data and bring better accuracy to your agentic GraphRAG workflows.
