AGN Architectural Documentation

1. Introduction

This document outlines the architecture of the Active Graph Neural Network (AGN) framework, detailing the structure, components, and interactions necessary for implementing and deploying the system. The AGN framework integrates the Active Graph Database (AGDB) for storing and managing structured data and Relational Graph Networks (RGN) for defining and managing relationships based on dynamic contextual awareness. It serves as a guide for developers, data scientists, and system architects to understand the design and flow of data and processes within the AGN framework.

2. System Overview

The AGN architecture is designed to handle complex, structured data relationships using graph theory, neural networks, and contextual policies. The primary components of the AGN system include:

Data Ingestion and Processing Module: Responsible for collecting, cleaning, and processing data inputs from various sources, transforming them into a structured format suitable for graph representation.
AGDB (Active Graph Database) Module: Builds and maintains graph structures, defining nodes, edges, and attributes based on the input data.
RGN (Relational Graph Networks) Module: Enforces dynamic rules and policies to add contextual relevance and enhance relational reasoning capabilities.
AGN (Active Graph Network) Model Module: Implements the AI model that processes graph data, leveraging GPU acceleration and cloud resources for scalability.
Query Engine and ACL Management Module: Manages structured queries and enforces Access Control Lists (ACLs) to control visibility and access within the graph.
User Interface and API Module: Provides an interface for users to interact with the AGN framework and an API for external integration.

4. Data Flow

Here’s a visual representation of the AGN data flow:

    A[Data Collection] --> B[Data Ingestion & Processing Module]
    B --> C[AGDB Module]
    C --> D[RGN Module]
    D --> E[AGN Model Module]
    E --> F[Inference and Queries]
    F --> G[User Interface & API Module]

This diagram illustrates the sequential flow of data through the AGN system, highlighting how each module interacts with the next to transform raw data into meaningful insights.

5. AGDB (Active Graph Database) Structure

The AGDB stores data in a structured format using nodes and edges. Below is a diagram showing the database structure:

graph TB
    subgraph Graph_Database
        node1[Document Node]
        node2[Timestamp Node]
        node3[Attribute Node]
        node4[Feature Node]
        node5[Context Node]
        node6[ACL Node]
        node7[Edge Node]
    end

    node1 -- references --> node2
    node1 -- has attribute --> node3
    node1 -- contains feature --> node4
    node3 -- has context --> node5
    node6 -- controls visibility --> node7
    node2 -- relates to --> node7

This diagram shows the relationships between different types of nodes within AGDB. It highlights how documents, timestamps, attributes, features, contexts, and ACLs interact and are connected through edges.

6. Proposed Query Language for AGNs

The AGN framework features a structured query language designed for extracting and manipulating data within AGDB. The language supports complex queries based on node types, relationships, and attributes.

Example Query Syntax:

MATCH (d:Document)-[:REFERENCES]->(t:Timestamp)
WHERE d.type = 'Legal' AND t.year = 2024
RETURN d.title, t.date, d.features

MATCH: Finds patterns in the graph, linking nodes (e.g., documents and timestamps).
WHERE: Filters nodes based on conditions (e.g., type of document and year).
RETURN: Specifies which attributes or relationships to display as results.

Query Flow Diagram

The following diagram shows how queries interact with AGDB:

flowchart TD
    A[User Query] --> B[Query Engine]
    B --> C{Match Nodes and Edges}
    C --> D{Apply RGN Policies and ACLs}
    D -- Allow Access --> E[Return Results]
    D -- Deny Access --> F[Access Denied]

This diagram illustrates the flow of a user query through AGDB. The query engine matches nodes and edges based on the user’s request, applies RGN policies and ACLs for access control, and either returns the results or denies access based on the user’s permissions.

7. Deployment Architecture

Below is a visual representation of the cloud deployment architecture for AGNs:

    subgraph Cloud_Deployment
        subgraph Kubernetes_Cluster
            FE[Frontend - User Interface & API Module]
            BE[Backend - Model Training & Execution]
            DB[(AGDB)]
        end
        Storage[(Cloud Storage - e.g., Azure Blob)]
        GPU[(GPU Nodes)]
    end

    FE --> BE
    BE --> DB
    BE --> Storage
    BE --> GPU

This diagram shows the cloud components, including the Kubernetes cluster, storage, and GPU nodes. It highlights how the different modules interact within the cloud infrastructure for scalability and performance.

8. Security Considerations

The AGN framework incorporates security measures such as:

Data Encryption: Encrypts data at rest and in transit.
