Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when exploring or building a knowledge-graph RAG workflow and you want retrieval and reasoning represented as distinct components.
Who it is for
- Developers prototyping retrieval-augmented generation grounded in knowledge graphs.
- Researchers studying retrieval and reasoning stages in knowledge-graph RAG.
Documented uses
- Structure a knowledge-graph RAG workflow around separate retrieval and reasoning stages.
- Use a repository framework as a starting point for a knowledge-graph-grounded question-answering prototype.
Requirements & limits
- The project is a Python repository rather than a hosted end-user application.
- The README directs users to separate retrieve and reason folders, but does not provide setup commands or execution requirements at the top level.
- The repository metadata identifies the license as MIT.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Locate SubgraphRAG’s retrieval and reasoning components
Find the repository’s separate components for a knowledge-graph RAG workflow.
Before you start
- Access to the SubgraphRAG GitHub repository.
Steps
Open the repository README.
For the retrieval stage, follow the link to the
retrievefolder.For the reasoning stage, follow the link to the
reasonfolder.
Expected outcome
The repository directs you to separate folders for retrieval and reasoning.
Guide limitations
- The README does not provide setup instructions or steps to execute either stage.
Compare options for Retrieval-augmented applications
These projects document a common task and share a project role. This is a source-based comparison, not an execution benchmark or a guarantee of interchangeability.
