Knowledge

The concept graph: reading it, finding concepts, and where they come from.

Knowledge maps the concepts behind the Arc as a graph. Each dot is a concept, colored by cluster.

Exploring the graph

Filled dots are Applied: used in work or a project. Rings are Encountered: met in reading or chat. Lines join related concepts.

Where concepts come from

  1. 1.Record: the skills behind each experience and project. Applied.
  2. 2.Resume: the skills list from onboarding. Encountered until a Record entry backs them.
  3. 3.Shared documents: articles, papers and videos shared with Olva. Encountered.
  4. 4.Olva chat: concepts that come up in conversation. Encountered.

A concept turns Applied as soon as an experience or project backs it. A person's own shared work becomes an Add to arc card for the Record.

Removing

  1. 1.Concept: the trash icon in its panel removes it everywhere. It returns only with new evidence.
  2. 2.Document: the trash icon in a shared document's panel removes it, along with any checked concept only it supports.

Where it's used

  1. 1.Job matching: concepts count as skills when the Feed is ranked.
  2. 2.Tailored resumes and the website: the skills they list.
  3. 3.Olva chat: answers draw on the graph, and View in graph shows the concepts used.
