SPARQL is the W3C candidate recommendation query language for RDF. In this paper we address systematically the formal study of SPARQL, concentrating in its graph pattern facility. We consider for this study a fragment without literals and a…

Query graph construction aims to construct the correct executable SPARQL on the KG to answer natural language questions. Although recent methods have achieved good results using neural network-based query graph ranking, they suffer from…

Regular Path Queries (RPQs) are a type of graph query where answers are pairs of nodes connected by a sequence of edges matching a regular expression. We study the techniques to process such queries on a distributed graph of data. While…

We study the optimization of navigational graph queries, i.e., queries which combine recursive and pattern-matching fragments. Current approaches to their evaluation are not effective in practice. Towards addressing this, we present a…

RDF (Resource Description Framework) is a standard language to represent graph databases. Query languages for RDF databases usually include primitives to support path queries, linking pairs of vertices of the graph that are connected by a…

This work is done as part of a research master's thesis project. The goal is to generate SPARQL queries based on user-supplied keywords to query RDF graphs. To do this, we first transformed the input ontology into an RDF graph that reflects…

Two-way regular path queries (2-RPQs) allow one to use regular languages over edges and inverted edges in edge-labelled graph to constrain paths of interest. 2-RPQs are (partially) adopted in different real-world graph analysis systems and…

Query response time often influences user experience in the real world. However, it possibly takes more time to answer a query with its all exact solutions, especially when it contains the OPT operations since the OPT operation is the least…

As the volume of the RDF data becomes increasingly large, it is essential for us to design a distributed database system to manage it. For distributed RDF data design, it is quite common to partition the RDF data into some parts, called…

Path queries are a core feature of modern graph query languages such as Cypher, SQL/PGQ, and GQL. These languages provide a rich set of features for matching paths, such as restricting to certain path modes (shortest, simple, trail) and…

Finding a good query plan is key to the optimization of query runtime. This holds in particular for cost-based federation engines, which make use of cardinality estimations to achieve this goal. A number of studies compare SPARQL federation…
