Knowledge graph functions

Knowledge graph functions are only available when using a knowledge graph service. The following functions allow you to access and query knowledge graphs.

KnowledgeGraphByPortalItem

KnowledgeGraphByPortalItem(portalObject, itemId) -> KnowledgeGraph

Since version 1.26

Function bundle: Knowledge Graph

Profiles: Field Calculation | Popups

Returns a knowledge graph from a portal item.

Parameters

• portalObject: Portal - The Portal from which to query features.
• itemId: Text - The GUID of the portal item referencing a knowledge graph service. This value must be a text literal.

Return value: KnowledgeGraph

);

QueryGraph

QueryGraph(graph, openCypherQuery, queryParameters?) -> Array

Since version 1.26

Function bundle: Knowledge Graph

Profiles: Popups | Field Calculation

Queries a knowledge graph with an openCypher query and returns the set of entities and relationships in a graph, along with their properties.

Parameters

• graph: KnowledgeGraph - The knowledge graph to query.
• openCypherQuery: Text - The openCypher query to be executed against the knowledge graph.
• queryParameters (Optional): Dictionary - A dictionary of named query parameters for the openCypher query. The parameter names or keys in the dictionary are case-sensitive. Parameters accepted depend on the external graph store and can be of type: Array, Date, Dictionary, Geometry, Number, Text

Return value: Array

var query = `MATCH (s:Supplier)-[:buys_part]-(p:Part)
  WHERE s.name=$name OR esri.graph.ST_Intersects($geom, s.geometry)
