Graphs are foundational across domains but remain hard to use without deep expertise. LLMs promise accessible natural language (NL) graph analytics, yet they fail to process industry-scale property graphs effectively and efficiently: such…

Property graphs often contain tree-shaped substructures, yet they are not captured by existing proposals for graph schemas; likewise, query languages and query engines offer little-to-no native support for managing them systematically. As a…

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…
