 In addition to the main code-base, KGX also provides a series of [command line operations](https://kgx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples.html#using-kgx-cli).
 
+### Error Detection and Reporting
+
+Non-redundant JSON-formatted structured error logging is now provided in KGX Transformer, Validator, GraphSummary and MetaKnowledgeGraph operations.  See the various unit tests for the general design pattern (using the Validator as an example here):
+
+```python
+from kgx.validator import Validator
+from kgx.transformer import Transformer
+
+Validator.set_biolink_model("2.11.0")
+
+# Validator assumes the currently set Biolink Release
+validator = Validator()
+
+transformer = Transformer(stream=True)
+
+transformer.transform(
+    input_args = {
+        "filename": [
+            "graph_nodes.tsv",
+            "graph_edges.tsv",
+        ],
+        "format": "tsv",
+    }
+    output_args={
+        "format": "null"
+    },
+    inspector=validator,
+)
+
+# Both the Validator and the Transformer can independently capture errors
+
+# The Validator, from the overall semantics of the graph...
+# Here, we just report severe Errors from the Validator (no Warnings)
+validator.write_report(open("validation_errors.json", "w"), "Error")
+
+# The Transformer, from the syntax of the input files... 
+# Here, we catch *all* Errors and Warnings (by not providing a filter)
+transformer.write_report(open("input_errors.json", "w"))
+```
+
+The JSON error outputs will look something like this:
+
+```json
+{
+    "ERROR": {
+        "MISSING_EDGE_PROPERTY": {
+            "Required edge property 'id' is missing": [
+                "A:123->X:1",
+                "B:456->Y:2"
+            ],
+            "Required edge property 'object' is missing": [
+                "A:123->X:1"
+            ],
+            "Required edge property 'predicate' is missing": [
+                "A:123->X:1"
+            ],
+            "Required edge property 'subject' is missing": [
+                "A:123->X:1",
+                "B:456->Y:2"
+            ]
+        }
+    },
+    "WARNING": {
+        "DUPLICATE_NODE": {
+          "Node 'id' duplicated in input data": [
+            "MONDO:0010011",
+            "REACT:R-HSA-5635838"
+          ]
+        }
+    }
+}
+
+```
+
+This system reduces the significant redundancies of earlier line-oriented KGX  logging text output files, in that graph entities with the same class of error are simply aggregated in lists of names/identifiers at the leaf level of the JSON structure.
+
+The top level JSON tags originate from the `MessageLevel` class and the second level tags from the `ErrorType` class in the [error_detection](kgx/error_detection.py) module, while the third level messages are hard coded as `log_error` method messages in the code.  
+
+It is likely that additional error conditions within KGX can be efficiently captured and reported in the future using this general framework.
