Taste should be distributed across the graph, not aggregated into a profile

Atom · refreshed Search related

When building a personal knowledge graph, resist the urge to create a central 'taste profile' or 'about-me' synthesis page. User preferences should live on the pages where they were observed — distributed across the corpus — and the aggregate profile should emerge from cross-page traversal at query time, not from hand-curated aggregation. Cross-page adjacency is the profile; link traversal is the query. The graph itself is the index.
