IQ: The Case for Iterative Querying for Knowledge
Summary: Argues for Iterative Querying (IQ): interactive query refinement and relaxation for knowledge-centric search over schema-less graph data, moving beyond single-shot SPARQL/keyword queries. Presents two instantiations—keyword+structural constraints and SPARQL extensions—and highlights open research challenges. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
