Designing query languages for graph structured data is an active field of research. Evaluating a query on a graph results in a relation on the set of its nodes. In other words, a query is a mechanism for defining relations on a graph. Some…

We report on implementing graph grammars for intelligence analysis in OCaml. Graph grammars are represented as elements of an algebraic data type in OCaml. In addition to algebraic data types, we use other concepts from functional…

We introduce PathQuery, a graph query language developed to scale with Google's query and data volumes as well as its internal developer community. PathQuery supports flexible and declarative semantics. We have found that this enables query…

In many applications, it is necessary to retrieve pairs of vertices with the path between them satisfying certain constraints, since regular expression is a powerful tool to describe patterns of a sequence. To meet such requirements, in…

Analyzing relational languages by their logical expressiveness is well understood. Something not well understood or even formalized is the vague concept of relational query patterns. What are query patterns? And how can we reason about…

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…

Graph-based modeling plays a fundamental role in many areas of computer science. In this paper, we introduce systems of graph formulas with variables for specifying graph properties; this notion generalizes the graph formulas introduced in…

We investigate three formalisms to specify graph languages, i.e. sets of graphs, based on type graphs. First, we are interested in (pure) type graphs, where the corresponding language consists of all graphs that can be mapped…

A graph is a structure composed of a set of vertices (i.e.nodes, dots) connected to one another by a set of edges (i.e.links, lines). The concept of a graph has been around since the late 19$^\text{th}$ century, however, only in recent…

Traditional treatments of formal logic provide: 1. A syntax for formulas. 2. An inference relation between sets of formulas. 3. A rule for assigning meaning to formulas (semantics) that is sound with respect to the inference relation. First…

The aim of this paper is to provide mathematical foundations of a graph transformation language, called UnCAL, using categorical semantics of type theory and fixed points. About twenty years ago, Buneman et al. developed a graph database…

Most of the machine learning algorithms are limited to learn from flat data: a recordset with prefixed structure. When learning from a record, these types of algorithms don't take into account other objects even though they are directly…

Regular path queries (RPQs) the ubiquitous mechanism for querying data graphs of partially known structure. RPQs are in essence regular expressions over the edge symbols. The answer to an RPQ on a given graph (database) is the set of pairs…

We introduce a class of rooted graphs which allows one to encode various kinds of classical or quantum circuits. We then follow a set-theoretic approach to define rewrite systems over the considered graphs and propose a new complete…

The relational data model requires a theory of relations in which tuples are not only many-sorted, but can also have indexes that are not necessarily numerical. In this paper we develop such a theory and define operations on relations that…

Graph-based semantic representations are valuable in natural language processing, where it is often simple and effective to represent linguistic concepts as nodes, and relations as edges between them. Several attempts has been made to find…
