About

Contains abstractions for accessing Vector Databases and Vector Indexes.

Key Features

  • Base abstract classes and interfaces for Vector Database implementation. Vector Database implementations are provided separately in other packages, for example Microsoft.SemanticKernel.Connectors.AzureAISearch.
  • Abstractions include:
    • Creating, listing and deleting collections with custom schema support.
    • Creating, retrieving, updating and deleting records.
    • Similarty search using vector embeddings.
    • Search using filters.
    • Hybrid search combining vector similarity and keyword search.
    • Built-in embedding generation using Microsoft.Extensions.AI.

How to Use

This package is typically used with an implementation of the vector database abstractions such as Microsoft.SemanticKernel.Connectors.AzureAISearch.
