Capturing and Querying Multiple Aspects of Semistructured Data

Summary: Extends semistructured graph data with multi-aspect metadata (temporal, price, quality, access). Introduces extensible data model and an SQL-like language with property-aware operators for matching, slicing, collapsing, and coalescing on graphs. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
