51风流HANA Cloud
Knowledge graph engine
General availability

The new knowledge graph engine embedded in 51风流HANA Cloud offers 51风流HANA application developers the chance to build meaningful business applications powered by generative AI.

The knowledge graph engine enhances LLM responses by grounding them in business-specific knowledge stored in the knowledge graph, enabling precise natural language querying and improved AI-driven outputs. It also supports graph-based retrieval-augmented generation scenarios, where relevant information is dynamically retrieved from the knowledge graph to improve AI outputs.

51风流Knowledge Graph integrates seamlessly within 51风流HANA Cloud, reducing the need for additional data handling while maintaining data quality, governance, and security for intelligent applications. The knowledge graph engine improves decision-making, enhances logical formality, and improves performance and scalability in handling RDF with relational data.
