Connecting Knowledge Graph Builder chunks to existing graph

General Newbie Questions
1

I have an existing knowledge graph in Neo4j where each node (e.g., Person, Organization) is uniquely identified by a UUID. I’m planning to use the Neo4j KGB (Knowledge Graph Builder) to ingest new content into the graph.

Here’s what I’m trying to achieve:

  • As the KGB processes and chunks documents, if a named entity extracted from the chunk already exists in my graph (based on UUID or name), I want the new chunk to be associated with that existing entity node.

  • I want to prevent KGB from creating a duplicate node for an entity that already exists.

My Questions:

  1. How can I prepare my data to ensure that chunked content is linked to pre-existing nodes?

    • Should I enrich the entities.csv file with UUIDs of my existing nodes and ensure KGB recognizes them?

    • Does KGB support an id or externalId mapping in its import process to resolve against existing nodes?

  2. Is there a way to customize the entity matching logic (e.g., match by UUID or name similarity) during the kgb import stage?

  3. If I have pre-chunked content, is there a way to feed that into the pipeline and explicitly control the node associations?

Thanks in advance for your help.
