Memory vs graphs

Organizational memory vs knowledge graphs

A knowledge graph is a useful structure for entities and relationships. Organizational memory needs more than structure: it needs evidence, dates, old claims, new claims, and a way to answer what is true now or at a past moment.

Graph

Models people, companies, events, and relationships.

Memory

Adds source-backed time, conflict, and current-state resolution.

Oomira

Uses graph structure as part of a larger source-backed memory system.

The graph is not the product

Nobody wants a graph for its own sake. They want answers: who reports to whom, what changed, which source is newer, and what was true then.

Why time changes the problem

A relationship can be true in 2022 and false in 2026. A static graph can represent the relationship, but organizational memory has to preserve the timeline and source trail.

Why evidence changes the problem

A graph edge without provenance is hard to trust. Oomira keeps the evidence attached so the answer can be reviewed.
