Navigational queries for graph-structured data, such as the regular path queries and the context-free path queries, are usually evaluated to a relation of node-pairs $(m, n)$ such that there is a path from $m$ to $n$ satisfying the…

Constraints are powerful declarative constructs that allow users to conveniently restrict variable values that potentially range over an infinite domain. In this paper, we propose a constraint path query language over property graphs, which…

SPARQL is a highly powerful query language for an ever-growing number of Linked Data resources and Knowledge Graphs. Using it requires a certain familiarity with the entities in the domain to be queried as well as expertise in the…

Linked Data Fragments (LDFs) refer to Web interfaces that allow for accessing and querying Knowledge Graphs on the Web. These interfaces, such as SPARQL endpoints or Triple Pattern Fragment servers, differ in the SPARQL expressions they can…

We describe a generic framework for representing and reasoning with annotated Semantic Web data, a task becoming more important with the recent increased amount of inconsistent and non-reliable meta-data on the web. We formalise the…

Property graphs have reached a high level of maturity, witnessed by multiple robust graph database systems as well as the ongoing ISO standardization effort aiming at creating a new standard Graph Query Language (GQL). Yet, despite…

The adoption of Semantic Web technologies, and in particular the Open Data initiative, has contributed to the steady growth of the number of datasets and triples accessible on the Web. Most commonly, queries over RDF data are evaluated over…

GQL has recently emerged as the standard query language over graph databases (particularly, the property graph model). Indeed, this is analogous to the role of SQL for relational databases. Unlike SQL, however, fundamental problems…

SPARQL query rewriting is a fundamental mechanism for uniformly querying heterogeneous ontologies in the Linked Data Web. However, the complexity of ontology alignments, particularly rich correspondences (c : c), makes this process…

How can we maximize the value of accumulated RDF data? Whereas the RDF data can be queried using the SPARQL language, even the SPARQL-based operation has a limitation in implementing traversal or analytical algorithms. Recently, a variety…

Regular Path Queries (RPQs), which are essentially regular expressions to be matched against the labels of paths in labeled graphs, are at the core of graph database query languages like SPARQL. A way to solve RPQs is to translate them into…

The formalism of RPQs (regular path queries) is an important building block of most query languages for graph databases. RPQs are generally evaluated under homomorphism semantics; in particular only the endpoints of the matched walks are…
