 ## About GraphRAG
 
 GraphRAG is Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) using a Knowledge Graph. 
 
-## Further reading
+Have you ever stumbled upon the term GraphRAG while diving into the world of Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems? If so, you’re not alone. This term is making waves, but its meaning can be elusive. Sometimes, it’s a specific retrieval method; other times, it’s an entire software suite, like Microsoft’s GraphRAG “data pipeline and transformation suite.” With such varied uses, it’s no wonder even the most dedicated followers of RAG discussions can feel a bit lost.
+
+So, what exactly is GraphRAG? 
+
+> For us, it’s a set of RAG patterns that leverage a graph structure for retrieval. Each pattern demands a unique data structure, or graph pattern, to function effectively. 
+
+![GraphRAG Overview](../../../assets/images/graphrag-diagram.svg)
+
+
+On this site, we’ll dive into the GraphRAG pattern details, breaking down each pattern’s attributes and strategies.
+
+If you’re looking for an introduction to RAG, check out [What Is Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)?](https://neo4j.com/blog/what-is-retrieval-augmented-generation-rag/).
+
+Each of our presented patterns is also linked directly to its [GraphRAG Pattern Catalog](/reference/) entry. 
+This catalog is an open source initiative to stay up to date on the latest pattern evolution. 
+
+NOTE: We just started collecting patterns and are definitely still missing a lot of them. Please help us build a comprehensive catalog for GraphRAG patterns and join the discussion on the [GraphRAG Discord](https://discord.com/invite/graphrag) channel.
+
+To give you a clearer picture, the patterns explained in this post include:

+* [Memory Graph](reference/knowledge-graph/memory-graph/)
+* [Text Sequence](reference/knowledge-graph/text-seq/)
+
+### Thematic Classification
+
+According to Gao et al., there are three RAG paradigms: naive RAG, advanced RAG, and modular RAG:
+
+![](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*okG4Sok4aweO7SIQ)
+
+
+In an advanced RAG paradigm, pre-retrieval and post-retrieval phases are added to the naive RAG paradigm. 
+A modular RAG system contains more complex patterns, which require orchestration and routing of the user query.
+
+### The phases of an advanced RAG system:
+
+* Pre-retrieval — Query rewriting, query entity extraction, query expansion, etc.
+* Retrieval of relevant context
+* Post-retrieval: Reranking, pruning, etc.
+* Answer generation
 
-- How-to: [chunking](/guides/chunking/)
+Here, we want to focus on the *retrieval phase* and compile a catalog of the most-often referenced GraphRAG retrieval patterns and their required graph patterns. 
+Please note that the patterns here are not an exhaustive list.

+## Memory Graph
+
+A memory graph is a graph that captures information from conversations either automatically through a framework, or intentionally by the user storing facts or relationships.
+
+Conversations are rich interactions which pull in facts, optionions, sources, arguments, discussions.
+
+Entities and relationships are
+
+* Questions
+* Answers
+* Facts
+* Sources
+* Rating / Feedback
