Independent use will determine whether Semantica’s open-source knowledge graph provides sufficiently reliable lineage and provenance to audit AI decisions in practical workflows.

What is this?

Semantica AGI has released Semantica, an MIT-licensed open-source framework for building knowledge-graph infrastructure around AI systems. Its materials describe deterministic graph reasoning, structured context and decision records, per-fact provenance using W3C PROV-O, exportable audit trails, and support for multiple graph-storage backends, with applications to agent workflows and RAG. The supplied evidence establishes the project’s design and auditability claims, but provides no independent production evaluation showing that its lineage remains complete or reliable in practical workflows.

Why it matters to Scott

Semantica independently implements Scott’s provenance-by-construction position: decision records, fact-level lineage, deterministic reasoning and exportable audit trails closely align with Cognitive Provenance and Provenance-Coupled Work, while directly overlapping his dev-wiki evidence engine. Its open-source implementation creates a practical comparison or integration opportunity, but without independent production evaluation it does not yet validate or materially challenge Scott’s architecture.
