Knowledge Graph

Everything is a network — but not everything is useful until you structure it. The ƒXYZ Knowledge Graph transforms raw connectivity into organized knowledge through semantic graphs powered by Neo4j, FIBO ontologies, and advanced visualization.

Network vs Graph

A network is raw connectivity — entities linked without context, often appearing as chaotic "hairballs" with little insight.

A graph is a network enriched with semantics, types, and properties. Graph = Network + metadata (types, weights, directions).

By adding structure through ontologies like FIBO, we transform noise into queryable knowledge that can answer "who, what, when, where, why."

DIKW Transformation Pipeline

Variables → Network → Graph → Information → Intelligence → Knowledge → Wisdom

Core Components

1. Nodes & Members

• Human Nodes: Members with DIDs, wallets, and progressive reputation
• Fixies (AI Agents): Autonomous agents operating across the network
• Financial Entities: Banks, exchanges, and institutional nodes
• Progressive Membership: Novice → Expert → Master with rites of passage

2. Ontologies & Data Model

• FIBO Foundation: Financial Industry Business Ontology for standardization
• ƒXYZ Extensions: Custom schemas for membership, governance, and AI agents
• Temporal Schema: Time-based relationships with Solana PoH integration
• RDF Integration: Semantic web standards via rdflib-neo4j

3. Technology Stack

• Neo4j Database: Graph storage with temporal and spatial capabilities
• Solana Integration: Proof-of-History timestamping for immutable event ordering
• Privacy Tech: ElGamal encryption, zero-knowledge proofs, confidential computing
