Schema Mappings for Data Graphs

Summary: Defines schema mappings for data graphs (property graphs carrying attribute data) and shows that even simple recursive navigation combined with data predicates makes answering mixed navigation–data queries undecidable. Proves decidability (but intractability) when recursive target navigation is disallowed, proposes using unmarked nulls to recover tractability for regular-path-like queries, and shows richer patterns trigger undecidability again.
