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 / semantic-memory
Semantic memory
Structured knowledge — typically a knowledge graph or ontology — that the agent can query for general facts rather than session-specific history.
What this means in practice
Distinct from episodic memory by content type; the knowledge-graph form is auditable and supports explainable retrieval.
Synonyms
agent semantic memory , structured-knowledge memory
