Big Graphs: Challenges and Opportunities
Summary: A research agenda for big-graph data management organized around amplified 4V challenges. It highlights open problems in provably correct/scalable parallelism, update-effective graph algorithms, relational–graph querying, and integrating logic with ML for data quality and entity discovery.
