Efficient Semantic Summary Graphs for Querying Large Knowledge Graphs
Knowledge Graphs (KGs) integrate heterogeneous data, but one challenge is the development of efficient tools for allowing end users to extract useful insights from these sources of knowledge. In such a context, reducing the size of a Resource Description Framework (RDF) graph while preserving all information can speed up query engines by limiting data shuffle, especially in a distributed setting. This paper presents two algorithms for RDF graph summarization: Grouping Based Summarization (GBS) and Query Based Summarization (QBS). The latter is an optimized and lossless approach for the former method. We empirically study the effectiveness of the proposed lossless RDF graph summarization to retrieve complete data, by rewriting an RDF Query Language called SPARQL query with fewer triple patterns using a semantic similarity. We conduct our experimental study in instances of four datasets with different sizes. Compared with the state-of-the-art query engine Sparklify executed over the original RDF graphs as a baseline, QBS query execution time is reduced by up to 80
