Training Graph is the internal semantic network that an AI system builds during ingestion or fine-tuning, mapping relationships between entities, facts, sources, and concepts. In the WebMEM Protocol, the Training Graph represents the model’s internal memory structure — distinct from the Trust Graph, which is the intentionally published structure you control to influence that memory.
🧠 Full Definition
A Training Graph is created when an AI model processes structured and unstructured content, linking:
- Entities to their attributes and relationships
- Claims to supporting sources
- Concepts to definitions and contextual cues
- Co-occurring terms and their associated topics
While publishers cannot directly view or edit a model’s Training Graph, its shape and accuracy can be influenced through deliberate publication of structured trust signals — the role of the Trust Graph in the WebMEM framework.
📜 Role in the WebMEM Protocol
In WebMEM, the Training Graph is the effect of retrieval-first publishing and trust conditioning. By feeding the AI high-quality, provenance-backed, semantically aligned content via a Trust Graph, you condition the Training Graph to:
- Prefer your version of a fact or definition
- Align entities with your glossary scope
- Preserve citation pathways between content and authoritative sources
- Strengthen entity-to-entity and term-to-term relationships
💡 Why It Matters
AI memory is pattern-based and relational. If your content is not consistently represented in the Training Graph:
- Your facts may be misattributed or replaced with competing sources
- Entity relationships may be incomplete or misaligned
- Your brand may be absent from topical retrieval paths
By intentionally shaping the Trust Graph you publish, you indirectly influence the Training Graph the model stores.
⚙️ How It Works
- Publish fragment-addressable definitions, claims, and FAQs using Semantic Data Templates
- Attach Structured Signals like schema:citation, provenance metadata, and DefinedTerm alignment
- Ensure cross-format repetition (Markdown, TTL, JSON-LD, PROV) for reinforcement
- Maintain Temporal Consistency so patterns persist over time
These actions increase the likelihood that your content relationships become part of the model’s Training Graph.
🗣️ In Speech
“The Training Graph is what the AI remembers; the Trust Graph is how you teach it what to remember.”
