The development of practical query languages for graph databases runs well ahead of the underlying theory. The ISO committee in charge of database query languages is currently developing a new standard called Graph Query Language (GQL) as…

In graph data applications, data is primarily maintained using two models: RDF (Resource Description Framework) and property graph. The property graph model is widely adopted by industry, leading to property graph databases generally…
