ONTOLOGY-BASED GRAPH QUERY OPTIMIZATION

摘要

Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for ontology-based graph query optimization. In an example, ontology data relating to a graph or isolated collection may be collected. The ontology data may comprise uniqueness and topology information and may be used to reformulate a query in order to yield a query that is more performant than the original query when retrieving target information from a graph. In an example, reformulating a query may comprise reordering one or more parameters of the query relating to resources, relationships, and/or properties based on uniqueness information. In another example, the query may be reformulated by modifying the resource type to which the query is anchored based on the topology information. The reformulated query may then be executed to identify target information in the isolated collection, thereby identifying the same target information as the original query, but in a manner that is more performant.
