PG-Triggers: Triggers for Property Graphs
Summary: PG-Triggers: a complete, SQL3-style trigger framework for Property Graphs with formal syntax and semantics. Provides a syntax-directed translation to Neo4j (via APOC triggers) and Memgraph, plus a COVID-19-inspired use case, pushing reactive graph management toward a standard.
