The pattern query in graph database has advantages of easy query expression and high query processing performance compared to relational database SQL. However, unlike the relational database, the graph database may not utilize the advantages of pattern query depending on modeling because the methodology for building the logical data model is not defined. In this study, in the is-a node modeling method that appears during the graph modeling process, we experiment that there is a difference in performance between graph pattern query when designing with a generalization model and designing with a specialization model. As a result of the experiment, it was shown that better performance can be obtained when the is-a node is designed as a specialization model. In addition, when writing a pattern query, we show that if a variable is bound to a node or edge, performance may be better than that of the variable of not bounded. The experimental results can be presented as an is-a node modeling method for pattern query and a graph query writing method in the graph database.

With the rapidly growing amount of information represented in RDF format, efficient querying of RDF graph has become a fundamental challenge. SPARQL is one of the most widely used query languages for retrieving information from RDF dataset. SPARQL is not only simple in its syntax but also powerful in representation of graph pattern queries. However, users need to make a lot of efforts to understand the ontology schema of a dataset in order to compose a relevant SPARQL query. In this paper, we propose a graph query formulation and processing scheme based on ontology schema information which can be obtained by summarizing RDF graph. In the context of the proposed querying scheme, a user can interactively formulate the graph queries on the graphic user interface without making efforts to understand the ontology schema and even without learning SPARQL syntax. The graph query formulated by a user is transformed into a set of class paths, which are stored in a relational database and used as the constraint for search space reduction when the relational database executes the graph search operation. By executing the LUBM query 2, 8, and 9 over LUBM (10,0), it is shown that the proposed querying scheme returns the complete result set.

This paper proposes a rewriting algorithm of OWL-DL ontology query in SPARQL. Currently, to obtain inference results of given SPARQL queries, Web ontology repositories construct inference ontology models and match the SPARQL queries with the models. However, an inference model requires much larger space than its original base model, and reusability of the model is not available for other inferrable SPARQL queries. Therefore, the aforementioned approach is not suitable for large scale SPARQL query processing. To resolve tills issue, this paper proposes a novel SPARQL query rewriting algorithm that can obtain results by rewriting SPARQL queries and accomplishing query operations against the base ontology model. To achieve this goal, we first define OWL-DL inference rules and apply them on rewriting graph pattern in queries. The paper categorizes the inference rules and discusses on how these rules affect the query rewriting. To show the advantages of our proposal, a prototype system based on lena is implemented. For comparative evaluation, we conduct an experiment with a set of test queries and compare of our proposal with the previous approach. The evaluation result showed the proposed algorithm supports an improved performance in efficiency of the inferrable SPARQL query processing without loss of completeness and soundness.

Recently, with the development of network technologies, as IoT and social network service applications have been actively used, a lot of graph stream data is being generated. In this paper, we propose a graph compression scheme that considers the stream graph environment by applying graph mining to the existing compression technique, which has been focused on compression rate and runtime. In this paper, we proposed Incremental frequent pattern based compression technique for graph streams. Since the proposed scheme keeps only the latest reference patterns, it increases the storage utilization and improves the query processing time. In order to show the superiority of the proposed scheme, various performance evaluations are performed in terms of compression rate and processing time compared to the existing method. The proposed scheme is faster than existing similar scheme when the number of duplicated data is large.

As an effort to secure Semantic Web, in this paper, we introduce an RDF access authorization model based on an ontology hierarchy and an RDF triple pattern. In addition, we apply the authorization model to RDF query validation for approved access authorizations. A subscribed SPARQL or RQL query, which has RDF triple patterns, can be denied or granted according to the corresponding access authorizations which have an RDF triple pattern. In order to efficiently perform the query validation process, we first analyze some primary authorization conflict conditions under RDF subsumption inference, and then we introduce an efficient query validation algorithm using the conflict conditions and Dewey graph labeling technique. Through experiments, we also show that the proposed validation algorithm provides a reasonable validation time and when data and authorizations increase it has scalability.

According to development of Web, an amount of XML documents has been increasing. So, many researches are proceeding to verify XML data coming from clients and to store or query efficiently database. In order to verify, store and query, DTD or XML Schema of XML documents is necessary. However, Schemaless XML documents couldn't be operated since they do not have either DTD or in Schema. In this paper, we extract XML schema in order to verify XML data and store or query efficiently database from either well-formed XML or XML Schemaless documents. XML Schema extracting technique which is proposed in this paper extract Schema graph using simulation and dataguide that is a extracting technique for semistructured characteristics of XML data. Also, we propose extracting technique for XML Schema using pattern tables that are considerated with Schema graph and reusability.

In this paper, we study the performance improvement of the answer extraction in Question-Answering system by using sentence dependency parsing result. The Question-Answering (QA) system consists of query analysis, which is a method of analyzing the user's query, and answer extraction, which is a method to extract appropriate answers in the document. And various studies have been conducted on two methods. In order to improve the performance of answer extraction, it is necessary to accurately reflect the grammatical information of sentences. In Korean, because word order structure is free and omission of sentence components is frequent, dependency parsing is a good way to analyze Korean syntax. Therefore, in this study, we improved the performance of the answer extraction by adding the features generated by dependency parsing analysis to the inputs of the answer extraction model (Bidirectional LSTM-CRF). The process of generating the dependency graph embedding consists of the steps of generating the dependency graph from the dependency parsing result and learning the embedding of the graph. In this study, we compared the performance of the answer extraction model when inputting basic word features generated without the dependency parsing and the performance of the model when inputting the addition of the Eojeol tag feature and dependency graph embedding feature. Since dependency parsing is performed on a basic unit of an Eojeol, which is a component of sentences separated by a space, the tag information of the Eojeol can be obtained as a result of the dependency parsing. The Eojeol tag feature means the tag information of the Eojeol. The process of generating the dependency graph embedding consists of the steps of generating the dependency graph from the dependency parsing result and learning the embedding of the graph. From the dependency parsing result, a graph is generated from the Eojeol to the node, the dependency between the Eojeol to the edge, and the Eojeol tag to the node label. In this process, an undirected graph is generated or a directed graph is generated according to whether or not the dependency relation direction is considered. To obtain the embedding of the graph, we used Graph2Vec, which is a method of finding the embedding of the graph by the subgraphs constituting a graph. We can specify the maximum path length between nodes in the process of finding subgraphs of a graph. If the maximum path length between nodes is 1, graph embedding is generated only by direct dependency between Eojeol, and graph embedding is generated including indirect dependencies as the maximum path length between nodes becomes larger. In the experiment, the maximum path length between nodes is adjusted differently from 1 to 3 depending on whether direction of dependency is considered or not, and the performance of answer extraction is measured. Experimental results show that both Eojeol tag feature and dependency graph embedding feature improve the performance of answer extraction. In particular, considering the direction of the dependency relation and extracting the dependency graph generated with the maximum path length of 1 in the subgraph extraction process in Graph2Vec as the input of the model, the highest answer extraction performance was shown. As a result of these experiments, we concluded that it is better to take into account the direction of dependence and to consider only the direct connection rather than the indirect dependence between the words. The significance of this study is as follows. First, we improved the performance of answer extraction by adding features using dependency parsing results, taking into account the characteristics of Korean, which is free of word order structure and omission of sentence components. Second, we generated feature of dependency parsing result by learning - based graph embedding method without defining the pattern of dependency between Eojeol. Future research directions are as follows. In this study, the features generated as a result of the dependency parsing are applied only to the answer extraction model in order to grasp the meaning. However, in the future, if the performance is confirmed by applying the features to various natural language processing models such as sentiment analysis or name entity recognition, the validity of the features can be verified more accurately.
