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…

Modern property graph database query languages such as Cypher, PGQL, GSQL, and the standard GQL draw inspiration from the formalism of regular path queries (RPQs). In order to output walks explicitly, they depart from the classical and…

This paper proposes a novel approach for efficiently evaluating regular path queries over provenance graphs of workflows that may include recursion. The approach assumes that an execution g of a workflow G is labeled with query-agnostic…

The paper studies the rewriting problem, that is, the decision problem whether, for a given conjunctive query $Q$ and a set $\mathcal{V}$ of views, there is a conjunctive query $Q'$ over $\mathcal{V}$ that is equivalent to $Q$, for cases…

We introduce an approach for open-domain question answering (QA) that retrieves and reads a passage graph, where vertices are passages of text and edges represent relationships that are derived from an external knowledge base or…

Graph query languages feature mainly two kinds of queries when applied to a graph database: those inspired by relational databases which return tables such as SELECT queries and those which return graphs such as CONSTRUCT queries in SPARQL.…

Graph databases in many applications---semantic web, transport or biological networks among others---are not only large, but also frequently modified. Evaluating graph queries in this dynamic context is a challenging task, as those queries…

Predicting answers to queries over knowledge graphs is called a complex reasoning task because answering a query requires subdividing it into subqueries. Existing query embedding methods use this decomposition to compute the embedding of a…

As of today, there exists no standard language for querying Linked Data on the Web, where navigation across distributed data sources is a key feature. A natural candidate seems to be SPARQL, which recently has been enhanced with…

Graphs are a ubiquitous data structure to model processes and relations in a wide range of domains. Examples include control-flow graphs in programs and semantic scene graphs in images. Identifying subgraph patterns in graphs is an…

Regular path query languages for data graphs are essentially \emph{untyped}. The lack of type information greatly limits the optimization opportunities for query engines and makes application development more complex. In this paper we…

We propose a novel database model whose basic structure is a labeled, directed, acyclic graph with a single root, in which the nodes represent the data sets of an application and the edges represent functional relationships among the data…

We introduce Raqlet, a source-to-source compilation framework that addresses the fragmentation of recursive querying engines spanning relational (recursive SQL), graph (Cypher, GQL), and deductive (Datalog) systems. Recent standards such as…

The purpose of this report is to explain how the textbook breadth-first search algorithm (BFS) can be modified in order to also create a compact representation of all shortest paths connecting a single source node to all the nodes reachable…

We present a form of algebraic reasoning for computational objects which are expressed as graphs. Edges describe the flow of data between primitive operations which are represented by vertices. These graphs have an interface made of…

A path query extracts vertex tuples from a labeled graph, based on the words that are formed by the paths connecting the vertices. We study the computational complexity of measuring the contribution of edges and vertices to an answer to a…

Recently, several works have studied the problem of view selection in graph databases. However, existing methods cannot fully exploit the graph properties of views, e.g., supergraph views and common subgraph views, which leads to a low view…
