Summary

This continues #279: the branch is rebased onto current main and additionally
addresses the four CodeRabbit review comments left on that PR.

Review comments addressed

  1. schema -> ontology constructor parameter — the API reference table
    documented a schema parameter that no longer matches the actual
    constructor signature; renamed to ontology.
  2. Missing Attribute import — the ontology example now imports
    Attribute alongside Ontology, Entity and Relation so the snippet is
    runnable as written.
  3. Relation.properties documented — the attribute was missing from the
    Relation model documentation and has been added.
  4. Terminology migration finished — the sections that still used the
    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.required row from configuration.mdx. The field does
not 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 matches
  • grep -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).

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.

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.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The documentation and examples replace GraphSchema terminology with Ontology. Public API references now describe Ontology, Entity, Relation, and Attribute, and examples pass ontology configurations to GraphRAG.

Changes

Ontology terminology migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Public API and model references
docs/api-reference.mdx
The API reference documents ontology-based constructor parameters, attributes, extraction signatures, and model definitions.
Ontology configuration and ingestion guidance
docs/configuration.mdx, docs/extraction.mdx, docs/getting-started.mdx, docs/graph-schema.mdx, docs/ingestion.mdx, docs/strategies.mdx
The documentation updates ontology setup, precedence, open mode, pruning, and extraction examples.
Examples and README adoption
README.md, graphrag_sdk/examples/...
The README and examples construct ontology objects and pass them through ontology to GraphRAG.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a942a

The PR updates the ontology terminology and examples, but one configuration example still advertises an unsupported Attribute.required option. This is a bounded documentation correctness issue that should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

🎯 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"),

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 Ontology terminology and GraphRAG(..., ontology=...).
  • Updated examples (02/03/06) to import and construct Ontology/Entity/Relation.
  • Updated API reference to rename “Schema” → “Ontology” and document Relation.properties.

docs/configuration.mdx:325

  • Attribute does not accept a required parameter, so this example will raise at runtime when copied. Drop required=True here as well.
            properties=[
                Attribute(name="name", type="STRING", required=True),
                Attribute(name="country", type="STRING"),

docs/graph-schema.mdx:233

  • 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`:

## Defining Your Own Schema

A `GraphSchema` tells the extraction pipeline which entity and relationship types to look for, and the pruning step uses it to filter non-conforming data.
An `Ontology` tells the extraction pipeline which entity and relationship types to look for, and the pruning step uses it to filter non-conforming data.
