The COMPEL Glossary Graph visualizes relationships between framework terminology, showing how concepts interconnect across domains, stages, and pillars. Term nodes cluster by pillar affiliation while cross-references reveal semantic dependencies — for example, how risk appetite connects to control effectiveness, model governance, and assurance requirements. This network representation helps practitioners navigate the framework vocabulary and understand that COMPEL terminology forms a coherent conceptual system rather than isolated definitions.
COMPEL Glossary / agent-memory
Agent memory
The stored context, preferences, observations, and state an agent accumulates across turns or sessions.
What this means in practice
Governable as a data asset: memory governance covers retention scope, persistence boundary, access controls, and review cadence. Memory is the attack surface for memory-poisoning incidents and the carrier for user-specific PII.
Synonyms
agent state memory , persistent agent context , agent working memory
