Drive (GrafDrive)¶
GrafDrive turns a folder of scattered, duplicated corporate files into a harmonized, queryable knowledge graph. It crawls files, extracts metadata, detects duplicate/overlapping datasets, proposes relationships, and lets you review everything before producing a cited harmonization report.
Find it under Drive (/drive).
The workflow¶
Drive is read-only and human-reviewed — it never mutates your source files, and nothing enters the graph without your approval.
Workspaces¶
A workspace is one harmonization project. Create a workspace, then upload a folder into it. The three-pane layout is:
┌────────────┬──────────────────────┬──────────────┐
│ Workspace │ Tab content │ Context │
│ sidebar │ (Overview, Files, │ drawer │
│ (260px) │ Graph, Review …) │ (360px) │
└────────────┴──────────────────────┴──────────────┘
The context drawer opens when you select an artifact or a proposal.
Tabs¶
| Tab | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Overview | Workspace summary — file counts, sources, status |
| Files | Table of crawled artifacts (name, rows, owner, columns) |
| Graph | Visual graph of datasets and their detected relationships |
| Ontology | The schema Drive is harmonizing toward |
| Schemas | Side-by-side column comparison across datasets |
| Review | Queue of proposed relationships to approve/reject |
| Ask | Natural-language questions over the workspace graph |
| Reports | Generate and download the harmonization report |
Reviewing proposals¶
The Review tab is the human-in-the-loop step. Each candidate relationship shows its type, a confidence score, an explanation, and supporting evidence.
Proposals are color-coded by status:
- 🔵 Proposed — awaiting your decision
- 🟢 Approved — accepted into the graph
- 🔴 Rejected — dismissed
- 🟠 Uncertain — flagged for a closer look
Filter by status, type, or minimum confidence. Click a proposal to open the evidence panel and see exactly why it was suggested before approving.
Exports¶
From the Reports tab you can generate a harmonization report and download
it. Formats include Markdown (.md) and JSON (.json) — a cited summary
of datasets analyzed, duplicates found, canonical sources chosen, and the
resulting graph structure.
Example¶
A typical scenario: 47 supplier files across 4 regional folders
(supplier_master_v3.xlsx, vendors_2024_final_FINAL.csv, Copy of suppliers
(2).xlsx…). Drive:
- Crawls all 47 files and profiles their columns.
- Detects that
supplier_id ↔ vendor_codeandcompany_name ↔ vendor_namemap across datasets (with confidence scores). - Flags likely duplicates for review.
- After you approve, produces a canonical
supplier_masterwith owners attributed and a queryable, traceable graph.
