✅ ChromaDB Vidensarkiv Implementation Complete

Date: 2025-11-24
Status: ✅ Fully Implemented

---

🎯 IMPLEMENTATION SUMMARY

ChromaDB er nu fuldt integreret som persistent vector database for vidensarkiv (knowledge archive), der hele tiden udvides og kan bruges af widgets til både eksisterende og nye datasæt.

---

📦 COMPONENTS IMPLEMENTED

1. ChromaVectorStoreAdapter ✅

Location: apps/backend/src/platform/vector/ChromaVectorStoreAdapter.ts

Features:

• ✅ Persistent storage (SQLite backend via ChromaDB)
• ✅ HuggingFace embeddings integration (sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2)
• ✅ Automatic embedding generation
• ✅ Hybrid search (semantic + keyword)
• ✅ Namespace support for multi-tenant
• ✅ Batch operations for bulk ingestion
• ✅ Health checks and statistics

Key Methods:

• upsert() - Add/update single dataset
• batchUpsert() - Bulk add datasets
• search() - Semantic + keyword hybrid search
• getById() - Retrieve specific dataset
• getStatistics() - Archive health and size

---

2. MCP Tools for Widgets ✅

Location: apps/backend/src/mcp/toolHandlers.ts

6 New MCP Tools:

1. vidensarkiv.search - Search existing + new datasets

   • Semantic (vector) + keyword hybrid search
   • Filter by includeExisting / includeNew
   • Supports metadata filtering

2. vidensarkiv.add - Add new dataset to archive

   • Automatic embedding generation
   • Stores metadata (source, widgetId, userId, etc.)
   • Logs to ProjectMemory

3. vidensarkiv.batch_add - Bulk add datasets

   • Used by DataIngestionEngine
   • Efficient batch processing

4. vidensarkiv.get_related - Find related datasets

   • Semantic similarity search
   • Returns related datasets with scores

5. vidensarkiv.list - List all datasets

   • Pagination support
   • Filter by datasetType (existing/new)
   • Metadata filtering

6. vidensarkiv.stats - Archive statistics

   • Total datasets, namespaces
   • Health status
   • Size estimates

---

3. DataIngestionEngine Integration ✅

Location: apps/backend/src/services/ingestion/DataIngestionEngine.ts

Auto-Ingestion:

• ✅ Automatically adds ingested entities to vidensarkiv
• ✅ Batch processing for efficiency
• ✅ Non-blocking (errors don't stop ingestion)
• ✅ Continuous learning - archive grows automatically

---

4. UnifiedGraphRAG Integration ✅

Location: apps/backend/src/mcp/cognitive/UnifiedGraphRAG.ts

Enhancements:

• ✅ Uses ChromaDB for proper vector similarity
• ✅ Falls back to keyword similarity if vector search fails
• ✅ Improved semantic similarity computation

---

🔌 WIDGET INTEGRATION

How Widgets Use Vidensarkiv

1. Search Existing + New Datasets:

// Via MCP
const result = await mcp.send('backend', 'vidensarkiv.search', {
  query: 'user query',
  topK: 10,
  includeExisting: true,
  includeNew: true
});

// Via UnifiedDataService
const data = await unifiedDataService.query('vidensarkiv', 'search', {
  query: 'user query',
  topK: 10
});

2. Add New Dataset:

await mcp.send('backend', 'vidensarkiv.add', {
  content: 'dataset content',
  metadata: {
    source: 'widget-name',
    widgetId: 'widget-123',
    datasetType: 'new'
  }
});

3. Get Related Datasets:

const related = await mcp.send('backend', 'vidensarkiv.get_related', {
  datasetId: 'dataset-123',
  topK: 5
});

4. List All Datasets:

const datasets = await mcp.send('backend', 'vidensarkiv.list', {
  limit: 50,
  offset: 0,
  datasetType: 'new' // or 'existing'
});

🚀 USAGE EXAMPLES

Example 1: Widget Searches Archive

// Widget component
const { send } = useMCP();

const searchArchive = async (query: string) => {
  const results = await send('backend', 'vidensarkiv.search', {
    query,
    topK: 10,
    includeExisting: true,
    includeNew: true
  });
  
  return results.results; // Array of matching datasets
};

Example 2: Widget Adds Dataset

const addDataset = async (content: string) => {
  await send('backend', 'vidensarkiv.add', {
    content,
    metadata: {
      source: 'my-widget',
      widgetId: 'widget-123',
      datasetType: 'new'
    }
  });
};

Example 3: Discover Related

const findRelated = async (datasetId: string) => {
  const related = await send('backend', 'vidensarkiv.get_related', {
    datasetId,
    topK: 5
  });
  
  return related.related; // Array of related datasets
};
