# User guides

These guides explain how to use TripleModel **0.12.x** in order of increasing complexity. Each guide is self-contained, but later guides assume you have read {doc}`01-getting-started`.

The table below lists guides in **reading order** (1–15). Guide 9 appears before 4 in the table only because language tags and RDF lists are introduced before graph sync modes.
