RDF has seen increased adoption in recent years, prompting the standardization of the SPARQL query language for RDF, and the development of local and distributed engines for processing SPARQL queries. This survey paper provides a…
The number of linked data sources and the size of the linked open data graph keep growing every day. As a consequence, semantic RDF services are more and more confronted to various "big data" problems. Query processing is one of them and…
The recent advancements of the Semantic Web and Linked Data have changed the working of the traditional web. There is significant adoption of the Resource Description Framework (RDF) format for saving of web-based data. This massive…
Crowd-sourcing is a powerful solution for finding correct answers to expensive and unanswered queries in databases, including those with uncertain and incomplete data. Attempts to use crowd-sourcing to exploit human abilities to process…
Natural language question-answering over RDF data has received widespread attention. Although there have been several studies that have dealt with a small number of aggregate queries, they have many restrictions (i.e., interactive…
In this paper, we propose a new approach for fast processing of SPARQL queries on large RDF datasets containing RDF quadruples (or quads). Our approach called RIQ employs a decrease-and-conquer strategy: Rather than indexing the entire RDF…
The combination of the flexibility of RDF and the expressiveness of SPARQL provides a powerful mechanism to model, integrate and query data. However, these properties also mean that it is nontrivial to write performant SPARQL queries.…
The ability of the RDF data model to link data from heterogeneous domains has led to an explosive growth of RDF data. So, evaluating SPARQL queries over large RDF data has been crucial for the semantic web community. However, due to the…
The increasing interest in Semantic Web technologies has led not only to a rapid growth of semantic data on the Web but also to an increasing number of backend applications with already more than a trillion triples in some cases. Confronted…
We propose techniques for processing SPARQL queries over a large RDF graph in a distributed environment. We adopt a "partial evaluation and assembly" framework. Answering a SPARQL query Q is equivalent to finding subgraph matches of the…
Although SPARQL has been the predominant query language over RDF graphs, some query intentions cannot be well captured by only using SPARQL syntax. On the other hand, the keyword search enjoys widespread usage because of its intuitive way…
Data integration is one of the main problems in distributed data sources. An approach is to provide an integrated mediated schema for various data sources. This research work aims at developing a framework for defining an integrated schema…
RDF data in the linked open data (LOD) cloud is very valuable for many different applications. In order to unlock the full value of this data, users should be able to issue complex queries on the RDF datasets in the LOD cloud. SPARQL can…
Hybrid human/computer systems promise to greatly expand the usefulness of query processing by incorporating the crowd for data gathering and other tasks. Such systems raise many database system implementation questions. Perhaps most…
Many repositories utilize the versatile RDF model to publish data. Repositories are typically distributed and geographically remote, but data are interconnected (e.g., the Semantic Web) and queried globally by a language such as SPARQL. Due…
RDF has become very popular for semantic data publishing due to its flexible and universal graph-like data model. Yet, the ever-increasing size of RDF data collections makes it more and more infeasible to store and process them on a single…
Partial evaluation has recently been used for processing SPARQL queries over a large resource description framework (RDF) graph in a distributed environment. However, the previous approach is inefficient when dealing with complex queries.…
As RDF becomes more widely established and the amount of linked data is rapidly increasing, the efficient querying of large amount of data becomes a significant challenge. In this paper, we propose a family of algorithms for querying large…
Semantic Web, and its underlying data format RDF, lend themselves naturally to navigational querying due to their graph-like structure. This is particularly evident when considering RDF data on the Web, where various separately published…
RDF query optimization is a challenging problem. Although considerable factors and their impacts on query efficiency have been investigated, this problem still needs further investigation. We identify that decomposing query into a series of…
