docs: migrate to v1.2 ontology vocabulary - #308
Conversation
…ttribute) The docs still used the pre-v1.2 names (GraphSchema/EntityType/ RelationType/PropertyType) and the deprecated schema= kwarg, which now emit DeprecationWarnings when copy-pasted. Updated all examples, type hints, and prose to the current vocabulary; the graph-schema page URL is unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The Attribute model on main has only name/type/description; the required field documented here does not exist in the code. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
08_ontology_lifecycle.py intentionally untouched — its step 8 demonstrates that the legacy names still work. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Rename the `schema` constructor parameter to `ontology` in the API reference table so it matches the signature, import `Attribute` in the ontology example, and document `Relation.properties`. Finish the terminology migration in the sections that still used the deprecated wording: "Open Schema Mode", "Prune Against Schema", "Define a Schema", "Example Schema Definition" and the "schema types" phrasing. Also drop the `Attribute.required` row from configuration.mdx; the field does not exist on the model and was already removed from the API reference.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Remove unsupported Attribute.required arguments.
Attribute.required is not part of the documented Attribute API. This example tells users that requiredness is configurable when the SDK does not provide that field. Remove both arguments.
Proposed fix
- Attribute(name="name", type="STRING", required=True),
+ Attribute(name="name", type="STRING"),
...
- Attribute(name="name", type="STRING", required=True),
+ Attribute(name="name", type="STRING"),📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Pull request overview
Migrates public documentation and runnable examples from the legacy “schema” vocabulary to the v1.2+ “ontology” vocabulary (Ontology/Entity/Relation/Attribute, ontology=) so copy-pasted snippets match the current SDK API surface.
Changes:
- Updated README + guides to use
Ontologyterminology andGraphRAG(..., ontology=...). - Updated examples (02/03/06) to import and construct
Ontology/Entity/Relation. - Updated API reference to rename “Schema” → “Ontology” and document
Relation.properties.

Attributedoes not accept arequiredparameter, so this example will raise at runtime when copied. Droprequired=Truehere as well.

- The section heading still says "Schema with Patterns" even though the text and code below use
Ontology/Relation. Rename the heading to avoid mixed terminology.
### Schema with Patterns
Patterns define which source-target pairs are valid for each relationship type.
They are specified directly on `Relation`:

Summary
This continues #279: the branch is rebased onto current
mainand additionallyaddresses the four CodeRabbit review comments left on that PR.
Review comments addressed
schema->ontologyconstructor parameter — the API reference tabledocumented a
schemaparameter that no longer matches the actualconstructor signature; renamed to
ontology.Attributeimport — the ontology example now importsAttributealongsideOntology,EntityandRelationso the snippet isrunnable as written.
Relation.propertiesdocumented — the attribute was missing from theRelationmodel documentation and has been added.deprecated wording were updated: "Open Schema Mode", "Prune Against Schema",
"Define a Schema", "Example Schema Definition" and the "schema types"
phrasing. In-repo anchors were updated to match.
Extra cleanup
Dropped the
Attribute.requiredrow fromconfiguration.mdx. The field doesnot exist on the model and had already been removed from the API reference, so
the configuration page was the last place still advertising it.
Verification
grep -rni "open schema\|Define a Schema\|schema types\|Prune Against Schema\|Example Schema Definition" docs/ README.md— no matchesgrep -rn "open-schema-mode\|define-a-schema\|example-schema-definition\|prune-against-schema" docs/ README.md docs/docs.json— no matches (no broken in-repo anchors)Supersedes #279 (left open for reference).
