Background. In the last decades, several life science resources have structured data using the same framework and made these accessible using the same query language to facilitate interoperability. Knowledge graphs have seen increased…

Knowledge Graph Question Answering (KGQA) has advanced through structured query generation, yet most efforts target RDF/SPARQL, leaving Cypher and property graphs underexplored, despite increasing demand for unified KGQA in industry…
