An Analytical Study of Large SPARQL Query Logs
Summary: Analyses a voluminous, multi-year SPARQL query log corpus from diverse RDF endpoints to reveal real-user syntactic and structural patterns. Introduces graph- and hypergraph-based query shapes, (hyper)tree width, and the 'streak' of sequential seed-query modifications, informing evaluation and optimization.
