Streamlining Product Communication with Knowledge Graphs

Knowledge Graphs
August 1, 2024

Communicating complex product systems is not easy. Marketing and product professionals face the challenge of providing clear, accessible information that fully conveys their products' capabilities, as well as the information users need to harness those capabilities for their specific and diverse use cases. Traditional methods—like PDFs and static web pages—are inefficient, hard to maintain, and increasingly fail to meet user expectations.

A knowledge graph offers a smarter way to structure and deliver your product communication, ensuring clarity, scalability, and efficiency.

What Is a Knowledge Graph?

A knowledge graph is a data model that organizes and represents real-world entities (or nodes) like a product, a feature, a document, or a user, along with the relationships between them. For example, a product might be connected to another product through the relationship "is compatible with." These nodes and relationships are stored in a graph database, creating a connected framework that maps your product system and the content describing it. This structure simplifies content management and helps your audience quickly find relevant, precise information.

Why Use a Knowledge Graph?

The Problem with Complex, Changing Product Systems

When your product system has countless configurations—sometimes millions—explaining every combination becomes impossible. And because these systems are constantly evolving with new products, updates, and integrations, keeping information current is a constant battle.

Let’s be honest—if the manual is the size of a textbook, most people won’t read it. That’s when important details, features, or setup conditions get missed, causing headaches during specification, setup, or installation.

1. Focus on High-Value Content

A knowledge graph helps you prioritize what matters most—delivering critical information to your customers. Instead of overwhelming your audience with exhaustive documents, you provide concise, relevant answers that add real value.

2. Scale Content Management

Managing product communication at scale can be overwhelming, but automation changes the game. A knowledge graph streamlines updates, whether you’re launching new products or adapting to regulations, keeping your content accurate and cohesive.

3. Improve Content Delivery

Tailor information to specific queries, such as:

  • “What configurations work best for a high-humidity environment?”
  • “How do these products integrate with legacy systems?”

A knowledge graph consolidates scattered details into a single, precise answer, reducing the effort for your team and the frustration for your audience.

How It Works

At Doran Design Studio, we use knowledge graphs to transform how product systems are communicated:

Knowledge graph ingestion process
  • Simplified Access: Deliver tailored, intuitive information to your audience, whether it’s specifiers, installers, or end users.
  • Automated Updates: Save time and reduce costs by minimizing manual edits and translations.
  • Connected Content: Link products, features, regions, and use cases into a unified, scalable framework.

Even if you’re starting from siloed PDFs, we can restructure your content to create efficient, ongoing systems for communication.

The Competitive Edge

Deliver the content your users need—on demand and optimized for their specific use case or configuration. A knowledge graph ensures your product communication is precise, actionable, and tailored to solve user needs efficiently.

Unlike traditional static documents, knowledge graphs allow for dynamic content delivery that evolves with your products and audience demands. While large consultancies may offer similar solutions at higher costs and with ongoing dependencies, Doran Design Studio provides scalable systems that empower your team to maintain control and adapt seamlessly.
