Implementation Strategies for Views over Property Graphs

Summary: Studies how to implement property-graph views via rewriting in native graph DBMSs vs relational RDBMSs, covering virtual/materialized views, query rewriting, and indexing. Introduces semantics/extensions for near-identity graph views with minor local transformations, and benchmarks platforms/workloads. (summarized by gpt-5.4-mini on May 24 2026)
