Description

Graph navigational languages allow to specify pairs of nodes in a graph subject to the existence of paths satisfying a certain regular expression. Under this evaluation semantics, connectivity information in terms of intermediate nodes/edges that contributed to the answer is lost. The goal of this paper is to introduce the GeL language, which provides query evaluation semantics able to also capture connectivity information and output graphs. We show how this is useful to produce query explanations. We present efficient algorithms to produce explanations and discuss their complexity. GeL machineries are made available into existing SPARQL processors thanks to a translation from GeL queries into CONSTRUCT SPARQL queries. We outline examples of explanations obtained with a tool implementing our framework and report on an experimental evaluation that investigates the overhead of producing explanations.

Part of this work was done while G. Pirrò was working at the WeST institute, University of Koblenz-Landau supported by the FP7 SENSE4US project.
