Vector Database

Definition

A vector database stores mathematical representations of information that capture aspects of meaning and similarity.

Why it matters

This allows AI systems to find relevant information even when a user’s question does not contain the exact same words as the source material.

Example

A search for “annual leave rules” could retrieve a document section titled “employee vacation entitlement” because the meanings are related.
