Mohd KaifandClaude Sonnet 4.6 b282487b17 docs: rewrite and polish documentation site (#413)
- Rewrote index.md to match README (tagline, badges, Problem/Solution text)
- Improved getting-started, concepts, quickstart, installation, faq, use-cases, contributing, glossary, learning-more, examples, modules, architecture, cookbook, deep-dive pages: tighter prose, fixed headings/bullets, removed inconsistencies and duplicate sections
- Removed overuse of emojis from headings in integration pages (docling, snowflake)
- Fixed change_management reference page: closed unclosed JSON code block that broke the right TOC, demoted noisy sub-headings to bold text
- CSS layout: widened content area (max-width 1440px grid, left sidebar 11rem, right TOC narrowed to 11rem for broader content), tightened TOC spacing and font size, fixed word-wrap/overflow on TOC links
- Added mkdocs_local.yml for local serving without mkdocs-jupyter plugin

# Quickstart
Build your first knowledge graph in 5 minutes.
!!! tip "Prerequisites"
Semantica installed (`pip install semantica`). If not, see the [Installation Guide](installation.md).
---
## Pipeline Overview

C --> D[Build Graph]
D --> E[Visualize / Export]
```
---
## Step 1 — Ingest
Load documents from files, directories, or the web.
```python
from semantica.ingest import FileIngestor
ingestor = FileIngestor()
sources = ingestor.ingest("data/sample.pdf")
```
Supported formats: PDF, DOCX, HTML, JSON, CSV, Excel, PPTX, archives. For web content, use `WebIngestor`.
---
## Step 2 — Parse
Extract structured text from raw documents.
```python
from semantica.parse import DocumentParser
parser = DocumentParser()
parsed = parser.parse(sources[0])
```
For complex layouts (tables, columns): use `DoclingParser` instead — it handles PDF tables and structured DOCX/PPTX better.
---
## Step 3 — Extract Entities and Relationships
```python
from semantica.semantic_extract import NERExtractor, RelationExtractor
ner = NERExtractor()
entities = ner.extract(parsed)
rel = RelationExtractor()
relationships = rel.extract(parsed, entities=entities)
```
Each entity gets a type, confidence score, and source reference. Relationships are extracted as typed triplets: `(subject, predicate, object)`.
---
## Step 4 — Build the Knowledge Graph
```python
from semantica.kg import GraphBuilder
builder = GraphBuilder(merge_entities=True)
graph = builder.build(entities=entities, relationships=relationships)
print(f"{len(graph.nodes)} nodes, {len(graph.edges)} edges")
```
`merge_entities=True` resolves duplicates across sources automatically.
---
## Step 5 — Visualize
```python
from semantica.visualization import GraphVisualizer
viz = GraphVisualizer()
viz.visualize(graph, output="graph.html") # interactive HTML
```
---
## Step 6 — Export
```python
from semantica.export import RDFExporter
exporter = RDFExporter()
rdf = exporter.export_to_rdf(graph, format="turtle")
```
Other formats: `"json-ld"`, `"nt"`, `"xml"`, Parquet, ArangoDB AQL. See [Export Reference](reference/export.md).
---
## Common Patterns
### Process text directly (no file)
```python
from semantica.semantic_extract import NERExtractor
ner = NERExtractor()
entities = ner.extract("Apple Inc. was founded by Steve Jobs in 1976.")
```
### Incremental build from multiple sources
```python
from semantica.kg import GraphBuilder
all_entities, all_rels = [], []
for doc in parsed_docs:
all_entities.extend(ner.extract(doc))
all_rels.extend(rel.extract(doc, entities=all_entities))
graph = GraphBuilder(merge_entities=True).build(
entities=all_entities, relationships=all_rels
)
```
---
## Troubleshooting
| Problem | Fix |
|---------|-----|
| No entities extracted | Check the document has machine-readable text (not just scanned images) |
| Slow processing | Process in chunks; use GPU acceleration (`pip install semantica[gpu]`) |
| Memory errors | Reduce batch size or switch to a persistent graph backend |
