ReLOG: A Unified Framework for Relationship-Based Access Control over Graph Databases
Relationship-Based Access Control (ReBAC) is a paradigm to specify access constraints in terms of interpersonal relationships. To express these graph-like constraints, a variety of ReBAC models with varying fe...

Data Models
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 rese...

Introduction
Graph data management systems have experienced a renaissance in recent years. The reason for this is clear: with a confluence of trends in society, science, and technology, graph-structured data sets are incre...

Query Languages
In this chapter we give a presentation of property graph query languages. We begin with the core language functionalities of graph navigation queries and (unions of) conjunctions of navigational queries. Our a...

Query Processing
The diversity of applications in which graphs are used as primary data models led to a proliferation of a variety of graph processing tasks. For example, in social networks, one might be interested in looking ...

Chapter
Constraints
Graph-shaped data differs from structured data mainly because of the lack of an underlying schema and metadata. Graph datasets typically blend values with metadata information without a clear distinction among...

Chapter
Data Structures and Indexes
A property graph is a complex structure requiring some care to be represented in the linear memory model1 of computers. A memory representation for property graphs should be: (1) concise, i.e., represent a given ...

Physical Operators
This chapter discusses how graph-centric features used in the graph query languages of Chapter 3 introduce new challenges in physical query evaluation. We focus particularly on the design and implementation of...

Query Specification
We describe in this chapter graph query specification techniques to help users formulate path queries from examples provided as input or via graph exploration. This problem amounts to learning queries from exa...
