Versatile Property Graph Transformations

Summary: Introduces a declarative paradigm for transforming expressive property graphs, unifying heterogeneous-data integration and cleaning. Develops semantics, algorithmic/scalability considerations, and a roadmap for graph-language extensions supporting causal and advanced analytics. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
