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…

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…

A regular path query (RPQ) is a regular expression q that returns all node pairs (u, v) from a graph database that are connected by an arbitrary path labelled with a word from L(q). The obvious algorithmic approach to RPQ-evaluation (called…

Evaluation of regular path queries (RPQs) is a central problem in graph databases. We investigate the corresponding enumeration problem, that is, given a graph and an RPQ, enumerate all paths in the graph that match the RPQ. We consider…

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…

Regular path queries (RPQ) is a classical navigational query formalism for graph databases to specify constraints on labeled paths. Recently, RPQs have been extended by Libkin and Vrgo$\rm \check{c}$ to incorporate data value comparisons…

Regular path queries (RPQs) select nodes connected by some path in a graph. The edge labels of such a path have to form a word that matches a given regular expression. We investigate the evaluation of RPQs with an additional constraint that…

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…

The resilience problem for a query and an input set or bag database is to compute the minimum number of facts to remove from the database to make the query false. In this paper, we study how to compute the resilience of Regular Path Queries…

A graph database is a digraph whose arcs are labeled with symbols from a fixed alphabet. A regular graph pattern (RGP) is a digraph whose edges are labeled with regular expressions over the alphabet. RGPs model navigational queries for…

We consider query answering using views on graph databases, i.e. databases structured as edge-labeled graphs. We mainly consider views and queries specified by Regular Path Queries (RPQ). These are queries selecting pairs of nodes in a…

Regular path queries (RPQs) are an essential component of graph query languages. Such queries consider a regular expression r and a directed edge-labeled graph G and search for paths in G for which the sequence of labels is in the language…

Testing containment of queries is a fundamental reasoning task in knowledge representation. We study here the containment problem for Conjunctive Regular Path Queries (CRPQs), a navigational query language extensively used in ontology and…

Two-way regular path queries (2RPQs) have received increased attention recently due to their ability to relate pairs of objects by flexibly navigating graph-structured data. They are present in property paths in SPARQL 1.1, the new standard…

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…

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…
