Extending Pattern Matching Queries in Property Graphs with Interpreted Predicates

Recently developed query languages for property graphs - GQL and SQL/PGQ - have now been standardized, and their theoretical models have been introduced and analyzed. These models however, do not yet have enough flexibility when it comes to process data stored as properties within property graphs; in particular they have limited ability to deal with various data types and operations on them. In a fully expressive query language, we should be able to perform meaningful computations on numerical and string data, among others. This includes queries that quantify over elements not explicitly present in the database.

Abstract

Recently developed query languages for property graphs - GQL and SQL/PGQ - have now been standardized, and their theoretical models have been introduced and analyzed. These models however, do not yet have enough flexibility when it comes to process data stored as properties within property graphs; in particular they have limited ability to deal with various data types and operations on them. In a fully expressive query language, we should be able to perform meaningful computations on numerical and string data, among others. This includes queries that quantify over elements not explicitly present in the database.
