Entity-resolved knowledge graphs —
clean data in, clean graph out

A knowledge graph is only as good as the entities inside it. Tilores resolves duplicate records before data enters your graph database — so every node represents a real, unique entity, and every relationship is trustworthy.


What is an Entity-Resolved Knowledge Graph?

A standard knowledge graph maps relationships between data nodes. But if the same real-world entity — a company, a person, a supplier — exists as multiple duplicate nodes due to inconsistent source data, the graph produces distorted results. Relationships are split, counts are wrong, and downstream AI systems reason on a corrupted picture.

An entity-resolved knowledge graph solves this at the source. Before data is ingested, Tilores identifies which records refer to the same real entity, merges them into a single canonical node, and preserves all source attributes. The graph database receives clean, deduplicated input — and the insights it surfaces are reliable.

Without entity resolution
"Acme Corp", "ACME Corporation", "Acme Corp." — three separate nodes
Relationships split across duplicates — patterns invisible
Entity counts inflated — analytics unreliable
Graph queries return incomplete or contradictory results
With Tilores entity resolution
All three records resolved to one canonical "Acme Corp" node
All relationships attributed to the correct entity
Accurate entity counts — trustworthy analytics
Consistent graph queries — reliable AI reasoning

How It Works

Tilores as the pre-ingestion layer

1
Connect Data Sources

Ingest records from CRMs, databases, data warehouses, or any structured source via the Tilores API.

2
Resolve Entities

Tilores matches and deduplicates records using fuzzy matching — handling name variants, typos, and format differences.

3
Build Canonical Nodes

Each resolved entity becomes a single, enriched Golden Record with all source attributes preserved.

4
Load into Your Graph

Clean, deduplicated entities are ingested into Neo4j, Amazon Neptune, TigerGraph, or your graph database of choice.


Compatibility

Works with leading graph databases

Neo4j

The most widely deployed graph database. Tilores-resolved entities load cleanly via the Neo4j driver or Cypher import.

Amazon Neptune

AWS-native graph database for property graphs and RDF. Pairs naturally with Tilores on the AWS stack.

TigerGraph

High-performance graph analytics at scale. Tilores ensures the underlying entities are as accurate as the graph patterns you're querying.

Tilores outputs standard JSON entities — compatible with any graph database that accepts structured node data.


Benefits

Why entity resolution matters for knowledge graphs

Eliminate duplicate nodes before they corrupt your graph — not after

Surface hidden relationship patterns that split nodes obscure

Improve the accuracy of graph-based AI, fraud detection, and risk models

Reduce manual data cleaning effort across large, multi-source datasets

Maintain a continuously updated entity layer as new source data arrives

Full audit trail on every entity resolution decision — traceable and explainable
