Record: `arch:knowledge-graphs`
Kind: pattern

Severity: contextual
Scope: knowledge modeling, retrieval, reasoning
Canonical: https://banes-lab.com/ontology#arch-knowledge-graphs

## Repair

- Refactored by: Extract Entities/Relations, Build Graph
- Detected by: repeated need for entity relationship traversal
- Violated by: relation-heavy domain modeled only as unstructured text
- Measured by: graph coverage, query accuracy
- Enforced by: schema/ontology validation
