Abstract
In this chapter, we introduce the property graph model. The property graph model is important for graph-based data management as it is implemented in many systems and used as a reference model for various research work. Our aim in this chapter is two-fold. First, we introduce the basic concepts of the property graph model, following the LDBC’s Graph Query Language Task Force [Angles et al., 2018a].1 Second, we discuss a number of variations of the property graph model in terms of specializations and structural extensions. This illustrates how the property graph model fits into the family of existing graph models.
