While there are other metadata standards, they have been inadequate for keeping up with machine-readable data requirements, which modern AI needs to achieve significance. While data models attempt to be free of technical bindings, there are fundamental design decisions that relate to whether data is intended to be stored in a graph da

Suppose we ask an LLM: “Can you tell me about Java?” What “Java” is the model thinking about? The programming language or the Indonesian island? To answer this question, we can try to understand what is going on inside the model.
