Load BPMN 2.0 diagrams into Neo4j and create node embeddings for Graph-RAG.

Project description

bpmn2neo

Load BPMN 2.0 diagrams into Neo4j and create node embeddings for Graph-RAG.

PyPI - Version Python License Neo4j BPMN 2.0


1) Overview

Image

bpmn2neo ingests BPMN 2.0 (.bpmn) files, persists a clean BPMN knowledge graph in Neo4j 5.x, then generates hierarchical embeddings for Graph-RAG.
The library is production-oriented: clean configuration via Pydantic .env, and a minimal public API.

  • Parser & Loader: turn .bpmn XML into a normalized Neo4j schema.
  • Embedding Orchestrator: builds node-level context and embeddings in a top-down order (Collaboration → Participant → Process → Lane → FlowNode).
  • Graph-RAG ready: each node stores explanatory text and vector.

2) Key Features

BPMN → Neo4j Loader

  • Robust XML parsing with clear phases (collaboration/participants → processes → lane → flownode → message flow/data objec/etc.).
  • Builds nodes and relationships, mapping each BPMN element’s tag attributes to node properties.
  • Structured logs for each phase, with try/except and error reporting.

👉 Schema details: see the guide
Neo4j Graph Schema Guide

Hierarchical Context & Embedding

  • For each node, the pipeline runs:
    Reader → Builder → ContextWriter → Embedder
  • Generates text per node, then embeds using the configured embedding model.
  • Order: FlowNode → Lane → Process → Participant → Model (Collaboration).
    This preserves hierarchy so parents can summarize/aggregate children.

Python API (recommended)

from bpmn2neo import load_bpmn_to_neo4j, create_node_embeddings, load_and_embed
from bpmn2neo.settings import Settings

s = Settings()  # reads .env via pydantic-settings

# 1) Load only
model_keys = load_bpmn_to_neo4j(
    bpmn_path="./data/bpmn/Order Process for Pizza.bpmn", #Your Path
    settings=s,
)
print("model_keys:", model_keys)

# 2) Embedding only
create_node_embeddings(model_key=model_keys[0], settings=s)

# 3) Pipeline (load + embed)
result = load_and_embed(
    bpmn_path="./data/bpmn/Order Process for Pizza.bpmn", #Your Path
    settings=s,
)
print("final model_key:", result["model_key"])

Requirements

  • Python 3.10+
  • Neo4j 5.x (Bolt reachable).
    Ensure the user has MATCH/CREATE/MERGE/SET/DELETE and index/constraint privileges.
  • OpenAI API key (for embeddings & text generation).

Configuration & Tips

  • Settings resolution: Settings() reads environment variables (and .env) using pydantic-settings. Keys are prefixed (e.g., B2N_NEO4J__URI).
  • Model key: if not provided, the loader derives it from the BPMN filename (stem).
  • Security: you may use keyring aliases instead of plain secrets (see comments in settings.py).

Troubleshooting

  • Cannot connect to Neo4j

    • Verify B2N_NEO4J__URI (neo4j://host:7687 or neo4j+s://... for Aura).
    • Check firewall, DB auth, and database name.
  • OpenAI errors

    • Ensure B2N_OPENAI__API_KEY set; consider rate limits and retries.
