Could you cite the source for those dbs?

Sure! ~/Library/IntelligencePlatform (associated with intelligenceplatformd) has a bunch with graph.db being the social graph, but with others like behaviors.db and eventLog.db also likely being relevant, and I think ontology.db was the one where they kept more information on the tags available for the social graph. ~/Library/Application\ Support/Knowledge/knowledgeC.db (associated with Spotlight's knowledgeconstructiond, which I think used to be called knowledged in earlier versions) has the other stuff I mentioned.

There's also some system-level things in eg. /var/db/knowledgegraphd/ but I haven't bothered looking into those yet because it'd require disabling SIP.

Ok, I'm just gonna come out and say it - I messed up.

I clearly have no idea what you're saying, and I don't even know why I expected anything even remotely simple to understand.

I apologise for wasting your time, but thank you so much for this comment, however pointless it may seem now.

Oh you didn't waste my time at all, no worries. It's not like copy-pasting those paths from my terminal was all that much work, and it'd definitely have been better if I'd included that info right from the start. Unfortunately I couldn't give any blog posts etc as a source, because as I said it was all based on my own poking around in those databases, but at least I could say where the databases were so others could do some poking around of their own if they wanted to
