# How to onboard to GMA graph?
## 1. Define relationship models
Relationship models are used to build edges in the graph.
If you need to define a [relationship] which is not available in the set of [relationship models] provided,
that relationship model should be implemented as a first step for graph onboarding.
Below is an example model for `OwnedBy` relationship:
@ -23,8 +24,51 @@ record OwnedBy includes BaseRelationship {
type: OwnershipType
}
```
Fields in this model are translated to properties of the graph edge.
Also, the FQCN of the relationship model, which is `com.linkedin.metadata.relationship.OwnedBy` in this example, is used as the label for edges.
## 2. Implement relationship builders
## 2. Define entity models
Entity models are used to build nodes in the graph.
Every GMA [entity] should have its own entity model defined and placed under [entity models] directory.
Below is an example model for `DatasetEntity` relationship.
```
namespace com.linkedin.metadata.entity
import com.linkedin.common.DataPlatformUrn
import com.linkedin.common.DatasetUrn
import com.linkedin.common.FabricType
/**
* Data model for a dataset entity
*/
record DatasetEntity includes BaseEntity {
/**
* Urn for the dataset
*/
urn: DatasetUrn
/**
* Dataset native name e.g. {db}.{table}, /dir/subdir/{name}, or {name}
*/
name: optional string
/**
* Platform urn for the dataset in the form of urn:li:platform:{platform_name}
*/
platform: optional DataPlatformUrn
/**
* Fabric type where dataset belongs to or where it was generated.
*/
origin: optional FabricType
}
```
Fields in this model are translated to properties of the graph node.
Also, the FQCN of the entity model, which is `com.linkedin.metadata.entity.DatasetEntity` in this case, is used as the label for nodes.
## 3. Implement relationship builders
You need to implement relationship builders for your specific [aspect]s and [relationship]s if they are not already defined.
Relationship builders build list of relationships after processing aspects and any relationship builder should implement `BaseRelationshipBuilder` abstract class.
Relationship builders are per aspect and per relationship type.

## 3. Implement graph builders
## 4. Implement graph builders
Graph builders build graph updates by processing [snapshot]s.
They internally use relationship builders to generate edges and nodes of the graph.
All relationship builders for an [entity] should be registered through graph builder.

## 4. Ingestion into graph
## 5. Ingestion into graph
The ingestion process for each [entity] is done by graph builders.
The builders will be invoked whenever an [MAE] is received by [MAE Consumer Job].
Graph builders should be extended from BaseGraphBuilder. Check DatasetGraphBuilder as an example above.
For the consumer job to consume those MAEs, you should add your graph builder to the [graph builder registry].
## 5. Graph queries
## 6. Graph queries
You can onboard the graph queries which fit to your specific use cases using [Query DAO].
You also need to create [rest.li](https://rest.li) APIs to serve your graph queries.
[BaseQueryDAO] provides an abstract implementation of several graph query APIs.
Refer to [DownstreamLineageResource] rest.li resource implementation to see a use case of graph queries.
