The four sub-pages it introduces, two on vector-based and two on graph-based RAG, carry the comparison. It sits on the same retrieval question [retrieval-augmented generation](capability:retrieval-augmented-generation) answers, without naming CDS, CAP or a store.","short":"Choosing between Vector RAG and Graph RAG","authors":["actor:sap"],"sources":[{"url":"https://btp-ai-bp.docs.sap/docs/technical-view/generative-ai/rag/vector-rag-vs-graph-rag","title":"Vector RAG vs Graph RAG — SAP BTP AI Best Practices","checked":"2026-09-14","quote":"Vector RAG is necessary when it is necessary to work with a clear description of the subject area and limit generative models to specific data structures and attribute values."}],"provenance":{"discovered_via":[{"source":"source:curator"}],"first_seen":"2026-09-14"},"drafted_with_ai":true,"published_on":"source:btp-ai-best-practices"},"readings":{"liveness":[{"label":"Checked against the source","tier":"unknown","evidence":"nobody has checked it"},{"label":"Source reachable","tier":"unknown","evidence":"not crawled"},{"label":"Age","tier":"unknown","evidence":"no publication date"}],"compatibility":[{"label":"Version","tier":"unknown","evidence":"no version declared"},{"label":"Moved since?","tier":"unknown","evidence":"no publication date to compare"},{"label":"Findings","tier":"good","evidence":"none flagged"}],"reach":[{"value":null,"unit":"views"},{"value":null,"unit":"comments"},{"value":null,"unit":"likes"}]},"signals":null,"series":null,"edges":{"authors":[{"ref":"actor:sap","name":"SAP","json":"/actors/sap.json"}]}}
