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…
We study the minimization problem for Conjunctive Regular Path Queries (CRPQs) and unions of CRPQs (UCRPQs). This is the problem of checking, given a query and a number $k$, whether the query is equivalent to one of size at most $k$. For…
We introduce the class CXRPQ of conjunctive xregex path queries, which are obtained from conjunctive regular path queries (CRPQs) by adding string variables (also called backreferences) as found in practical implementations of regular…
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 present an output-sensitive algorithm for evaluating an acyclic Conjunctive Regular Path Query (CRPQ). Its complexity is written in terms of the input size, the output size, and a well-known parameter of the query that is called the…
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…
Conjunctive Regular Path Queries, or CRPQs for short, are an essential construct in graph query languages. In this paper, we propose the first output-sensitive algorithm for evaluating acyclic CRPQs. It is output-sensitive in the sense that…
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…
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…
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…
In this paper, we focus on the problem of determining whether two conjunctive ("CQ") queries posed on relational data are combined-semantics equivalent [9]. We continue the tradition of [2,5,9] of studying this problem using the tool of…
The problem of checking whether a recursive query can be rewritten as query without recursion is a fundamental reasoning task, known as the boundedness problem. Here we study the boundedness problem for Unions of Conjunctive Regular Path…
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…
We study the boundedness problem for unions of conjunctive regular path queries with inverses (UC2RPQs). This is the problem of, given a UC2RPQ, checking whether it is equivalent to a union of conjunctive queries (UCQ). We show the problem…
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 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…
We investigate the problem of finite entailment of ontology-mediated queries. We consider the expressive query language, unions of conjunctive regular path queries (UCRPQs), extending the well-known class of union of conjunctive queries,…
We consider the problem of finding equivalent minimal-size reformulations of SQL queries in presence of embedded dependencies [1]. Our focus is on select-project-join (SPJ) queries with equality comparisons, also known as safe conjunctive…
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…
Conjunctive path queries (CPQ) are one of the most frequently used queries for complex graph analysis. However, current graph indexes are not tailored to fully support the power of query languages to express CPQs. Consequently, current…
