TerminusDB 11.1.0: Semantic Indexer and Layer Concat

Open inAnthropic

TerminusDB 11.1.0 adds the VectorLink semantic indexer for AI-powered similarity search, and a concat command for merging storage layers. It was released on 10 July 2023.

Semantic indexer

What it does

Support for the TerminusDB semantic indexer — VectorLink — a sidecar that stores, indexes and retrieves embedding vectors by similarity. Documents can be rendered to text, embedded, and searched semantically on top of the knowledge graph.

Why it matters

This VectorLink 1.0 brings Vector Search to TerminusDB and enables every structured document to get a semantic vector embedding automatically (GraphQL and Handlebars to render from a template), and at the same time having the document as a structural part of the knowledge graph too. Full git-for-data including for Vector Search is a powerful capability.

The roadmap version of VectorLink 2.0 will offer even more advanced features and capabilities. Check it out when released!

concat command

A new concat command merges base layers into a single layer — a manual, more aggressive variant of the automatic squashes the optimizer performs.

Lower memory usage

General memory reductions across the server, and the dashboard no longer ships Google Analytics.

Fixes

  • Fixed GraphQL ordering of stringy numbers; added type information to decimals
  • Corrected diffs using out-of-band values; prevented reserved words in GraphQL names
  • Fixed loading of triples
