Google Cloud enhances Knowledge Catalog for managing Open Knowledge Format (OKF) bundles
Google Cloud now enables organizations to share and govern Open Knowledge Format (OKF) bundles using Knowledge Catalog. This integration addresses the challenge of scaling OKF bundle access by leveraging Knowledge Catalog's existing capabilities for discoverability, security, and governance. Developers can map OKF concepts to Knowledge Catalog entries and aspects, allowing LLM agents to securely retrieve contextual information. Sample code and a command-line interface are provided to streamline the publishing of OKF bundles into the catalog.

- Scale and govern Open Knowledge Format bundles with Knowledge Catalog
This integration enables organizations to share and manage OKF bundles for LLM agents using Google Cloud's Knowledge Catalog. It provides a centralized, searchable, and secure platform for agent context, leveraging existing IAM and governance policies for cross-organizational access and control.
Enhancements (1) ›
- OKF bundle concepts map to Knowledge Catalog entry and aspect types
OKF concepts are mapped to Knowledge Catalog EntryGroups, specific EntryTypes (e.g., `okf-bundle`), and an `okf` AspectType that carries the OKF v0.2 specification fields. Key scalar fields within the `okf` Aspect are directly searchable, allowing agents to query for specific types of OKF content and leverage existing catalog functionalities like lineage and ownership.
Notes (1) ›
- Publish OKF bundles using the kcmd CLI and sample code
The Knowledge Catalog repository includes sample code and the `kcmd` (Metadata-as-Code) CLI to facilitate publishing OKF bundles. A one-time setup registers necessary Knowledge Catalog resources, and a single push command populates the catalog with OKF concepts, preserving the bundle's directory structure and making it browsable.
