Native Provenance Computation for Federated and Non-Federated SPARQL Queries

Authors: Zubaria Asma, Daniel Hernández, Luis Galárraga, Giorgos Flouris, Irini Fundulaki, and Katja Hose

Published in: TGDK, Volume 4, Issue 1 (2026). Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 4, Issue 1


Abstract
The popularity of knowledge graphs (KGs) owes credit to their flexible data model, which is suitable for data integration from multiple sources. Several KG-based applications, such as trust assessment, view maintenance, or data valuation on dynamic data, rely on the ability to compute provenance explanations for query results. This need becomes more urgent in federated query processing systems, which allow the online consumption of heterogeneous and decentralized Web data. However, the problem of computing and interacting with provenance has received little attention, especially in the federated setting. On those grounds, this paper introduces the NPCS (Native Provenance Computation for SPARQL) approach, and its federated variant Fed-NPCS, that compute provenance for SPARQL query results. Both approaches build upon spm-semirings to annotate the results of monotonic and non-monotonic SPARQL queries with their provenance. Due to their reliance on query rewriting techniques, the approaches are directly applicable to already deployed SPARQL engines and federations using different reification schemes, including RDF-star. Our experimental evaluation shows that our novel query rewriting approach brings significant run-time improvements w.r.t. the state-of-the-art across both centralized and federated settings. In centralized settings, our tests on two popular SPARQL engines (GraphDB and Stardog) reveal substantial runtime gains over existing query rewriting solutions, enabling scalability to RDF graphs with billions of triples. In federated settings, our experiments on the FedShop benchmark with GraphDB show the viability of Fed-NPCS for federations with up to 200 sources.

On the Computational Cost of Knowledge Graph Embeddings

Authors: Victor Charpenay, Mansour Zoubeirou A Mayaki, and Antoine Zimmermann

Published in: TGDK, Volume 4, Issue 1 (2026). Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 4, Issue 1


Abstract
Over a decade, numerous Knowledge Graph Embedding (KGE) models have been designed and evaluated on reference datasets, always with increasing performance. In this paper, we re-evaluate these models with respect to their computational efficiency during training, by estimating the computational cost of the procedure expressed in floating-point operations. We design a cost model based on analytical expressions and apply it on a collection of 20 KGE models, representative of the state-of-the-art. We show that dimensionality or parameter efficiency, used in the literature to compare models with each other, are not suitable to evaluate the true cost of models. Through fixed-budget experiments, a novel approach to evaluate KGE models based on cost estimates, we re-assess the relative performance of model families compared to the state-of-the-art. Bilinear models such as ComplEx underperform with a low computational budget while hyperbolic linear models appear to offer no particular benefit compared to simpler Euclidian models, especially the MuRE model. Neural models, such as ConvE or CompGCN, achieve reasonable performance in the literature but their high computational cost appears unnecessary when compared with other models. The trade-off between efficiency and expressivity of both linear and neural models is to be further explored.

Temporal Modelling in Cultural Heritage Knowledge Graphs: Use Cases, Requirements, Evaluation, and Decision Support

Authors: Oleksandra Bruns, Jörg Waitelonis, Jeff Z. Pan, and Harald Sack

Published in: TGDK, Volume 4, Issue 1 (2026). Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 4, Issue 1


Abstract
Our culture, history and world are in constant motion, continuously shaped by the flow of time, evolving narratives, and shifting relationships. Capturing this temporal complexity within cultural heritage (CH) knowledge graphs is essential for preserving the dynamic nature of human heritage. However, standard RDF predicates fail to effectively model the temporal aspects of cultural data, such as changing facts, evolving relationships, and temporal concepts. Over the past two decades, a variety of RDF-based approaches have been proposed to address this limitation, yet guidance is missing on which method best suits specific CH contexts. This paper presents a systematic evaluation of temporal RDF modelling approaches from a CH perspective. Based on an analysis of real-world CH use cases, core temporal requirements are identified that reflect both modelling expressivity and practical concerns. Six prominent approaches - RDF*, tRDF, Named Graphs, Singleton Property, N-ary Relations, and 4D Fluents - are assessed across these requirements. Our findings reveal that no single solution fits all scenarios, but suitable approaches can be selected based on project-specific priorities. To support practitioners, a decision-support tool is introduced to guide them in selecting the most suitable extension for their specific needs. This work provides practical guidance for CH modelling and contributes to the broader development of temporally aware Linked Data.

Distances Between Formal Concept Analysis Structures

Authors: Alexandre Bazin and Giacomo Kahn

Published in: TGDK, Volume 3, Issue 2 (2025). Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 3, Issue 2


Abstract
In this paper, we study the notion of distance between the most important structures of formal concept analysis: formal contexts, concept lattices, and implication bases. We first define three families of Minkowski-like distances between these three structures. We then present experiments showing that the correlations of these distances are low and depend on the distance between formal contexts.

Evaluating Usability and Cognitive Load in Programming Education with ChatGPT Integration

Authors: Gustavo Gutiérrez Carreón and Rigoberto López Escalera

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 133, 6th International Computer Programming Education Conference (ICPEC 2025)


Abstract
This study analyzes the impact of ChatGPT on usability and cognitive load in programming education for undergraduate students in an Information Technology Management program. The goal is to evaluate whether ChatGPT improves learning outcomes in programming topics. A comparative research design was used with two groups: a traditional instruction control group and an experimental group using ChatGPT as a support tool. Data were collected using the System Usability Scale (SUS), a custom usability questionnaire, cognitive load surveys, and programming performance evaluations. The results indicate that the students using ChatGPT reported greater usability and a lower cognitive load. They also showed improved comprehension and problem-solving skills. However, improper use of the tool can lead to superficial learning, highlighting the need for structured guidance. The findings suggest that, when integrated appropriately, ChatGPT can improve the learning experience by reducing mental effort and enhancing participation in programming education. Recommendations are offered to help educators incorporate AI tools effectively and responsibly.

Scalable Counting of Minimal Trap Spaces and Fixed Points in Boolean Networks

Authors: Mohimenul Kabir, Van-Giang Trinh, Samuel Pastva, and Kuldeep S Meel

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 340, 31st International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP 2025)


Abstract
Boolean Networks (BNs) serve as a fundamental modeling framework for capturing complex dynamical systems across various domains, including systems biology, computational logic, and artificial intelligence. A crucial property of BNs is the presence of trap spaces - subspaces of the state space that, once entered, cannot be exited. Minimal trap spaces, in particular, play a significant role in analyzing the long-term behavior of BNs, making their efficient enumeration and counting essential. The fixed points in BNs are a special case of minimal trap spaces. In this work, we formulate several meaningful counting problems related to minimal trap spaces and fixed points in BNs. These problems provide valuable insights both within BN theory (e.g., in probabilistic reasoning and dynamical analysis) and in broader application areas, including systems biology, abstract argumentation, and logic programming. To address these computational challenges, we propose novel methods based on approximate answer set counting, leveraging techniques from answer set programming. Our approach efficiently approximates the number of minimal trap spaces and the number of fixed points without requiring exhaustive enumeration, making it particularly well-suited for large-scale BNs. Our experimental evaluation on an extensive and diverse set of benchmark instances shows that our methods significantly improve the feasibility of counting minimal trap spaces and fixed points, paving the way for new applications in BN analysis and beyond.

CoaKG: A Contextualized Knowledge Graph Approach for Exploratory Search and Decision Making

Authors: Veronica dos Santos, Daniel Schwabe, Altigran Soares da Silva, and Sérgio Lifschitz

Published in: TGDK, Volume 3, Issue 1 (2025). Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 3, Issue 1


Abstract
In decision-making scenarios, an information need arises due to a knowledge gap when a decision-maker needs more knowledge to make a decision. Users may take the initiative to acquire knowledge to fill this gap through exploratory search approaches using Knowledge Graphs (KGs) as information sources, but their queries can be incomplete, inaccurate, and ambiguous. Although KGs have great potential for exploratory search, they are incomplete by nature. Besides, for both Crowd-sourced KGs and KGs constructed by integrating several different information sources of varying quality to be effectively consumed, there is a need for a Trust Layer. Our research aims to enrich and allow querying KGs to support context-aware exploration in decision-making scenarios. We propose a layered architecture for Context Augmented Knowledge Graphs-based Decision Support Systems with a Knowledge Layer that operates under a Dual Open World Assumption (DOWA). Under DOWA, the evaluation of the truthfulness of the information obtained from KGs depends on the context of its claims and the tasks carried out or intended (purpose). The Knowledge Layer comprises a Context Augmented KG (CoaKG) and a CoaKG Query Engine. The CoaKG contains contextual mappings to identify explicit context and rules to infer implicit context. The CoaKG Query Engine is designed as a query-answering approach that retrieves all contextualized answers from the CoaKG. A Proof of Concept (PoC) based on Wikidata was developed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Knowledge Layer.

Talking Wikidata: Communication Patterns and Their Impact on Community Engagement in Collaborative Knowledge Graphs

Authors: Elisavet Koutsiana, Ioannis Reklos, Kholoud Saad Alghamdi, Nitisha Jain, Albert Meroño-Peñuela, and Elena Simperl

Published in: TGDK, Volume 3, Issue 1 (2025). Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 3, Issue 1


Abstract
We study collaboration patterns of Wikidata, one of the world's largest open source collaborative knowledge graph (KG) communities. Collaborative KG communities, play a key role in structuring machine-readable knowledge to support AI systems like conversational agents. However, these communities face challenges related to long-term member engagement, as a small subset of contributors often is responsible for the majority of contributions and decision-making. While prior research has explored contributors' roles and lifespans, discussions within collaborative KG communities remain understudied. To fill this gap, we investigated the behavioural patterns of contributors and factors affecting their communication and participation. We analysed all the discussions on Wikidata using a mixed methods approach, including statistical tests, network analysis, and text and graph embedding representations. Our findings reveal that the interactions between Wikidata editors form a small world network, resilient to dropouts and inclusive, where both the network topology and discussion content influence the continuity of conversations. Furthermore, the account age of Wikidata members and their conversations are significant factors in their long-term engagement with the project. Our observations and recommendations can benefit the Wikidata and semantic web communities, providing guidance on how to improve collaborative environments for sustainability, growth, and quality.

Unified Multimedia Segmentation - A Comprehensive Model for URI-based Media Segment Representation

Authors: Jan Willi, Abraham Bernstein, and Luca Rossetto

Published in: TGDK, Volume 2, Issue 3 (2024). Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 2, Issue 3


Abstract
In multimedia annotation, referencing specific segments of a document is often desired due to its richness and multimodality, but no universal representation for such references exists. This significantly hampers the usage of multimedia content in knowledge graphs, as it is modeled as one large atomic information container. Unstructured data - such as text, audio, images, and video - can commonly be decomposed into its constituent parts, as such documents rarely contain only one semantic concept. Hence, it is reasonable to assume that these advances will make it possible to decompose these previous atomic components into logical segments. To be processable by the knowledge graph stack, however, one needs to break the atomic nature of multimedia content, providing a mechanism to address media segments. This paper proposes a Unified Segmentation Model capable of depicting arbitrary segmentations on any media document type. The work begins with a formal analysis of multimedia and segmentation, exploring segmentation operations and how to describe them. Building on this analysis, it then develops a practical scheme for expressing segmentation in Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs). Given that this approach makes segments of multimedia content referencable, it breaks their atomic nature and makes them first-class citizens within knowledge graphs. The proposed model is implemented as a proof of concept in the MediaGraph Store, a multimedia knowledge graph storage and querying engine.

The Reasonable Ontology Templates Framework

Authors: Martin Georg Skjæveland and Leif Harald Karlsen

Published in: TGDK, Volume 2, Issue 2 (2024): Special Issue on Resources for Graph Data and Knowledge. Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 2, Issue 2


Abstract
Reasonable Ontology Templates (OTTR) is a templating language for representing and instantiating patterns. It is based on simple and generic, but powerful, mechanisms such as recursive macro expansion, term substitution and type systems, and is designed particularly for building and maintaining RDF knowledge graphs and OWL ontologies. In this resource paper, we present the formal specifications that define the OTTR framework. This includes the fundamentals of the OTTR language and the adaptions to make it fit with standard semantic web languages, and two serialization formats developed for semantic web practitioners. We also present the OTTR framework’s support for documenting, publishing and managing template libraries, and for tools for practical bulk instantiation of templates from tabular data and queryable data sources. The functionality of the OTTR framework is available for use through Lutra, an open-source reference implementation, and other independent implementations. We report on the use and impact of OTTR by presenting selected industrial use cases. Finally, we reflect on some design considerations of the language and framework and present ideas for future work.

Multilingual Knowledge Graphs and Low-Resource Languages: A Review

Authors: Lucie-Aimée Kaffee, Russa Biswas, C. Maria Keet, Edlira Kalemi Vakaj, and Gerard de Melo

Published in: TGDK, Volume 1, Issue 1 (2023): Special Issue on Trends in Graph Data and Knowledge. Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 1, Issue 1


Abstract
There is a lack of multilingual data to support applications in a large number of languages, especially for low-resource languages. Knowledge graphs (KG) could contribute to closing the gap of language support by providing easily accessible, machine-readable, multilingual linked data, which can be reused across applications. In this paper, we provide an overview of work in the domain of multilingual KGs with a focus on low-resource languages. We review the current state of multilingual KGs along with the different aspects that are crucial for creating KGs with language coverage in mind. Special consideration is given to challenges particular to low-resource languages in KGs. We further provide an overview of applications that yield multilingual KG information as well as downstream applications reusing such multilingual data. Finally, we explore open problems regarding multilingual KGs with a focus on low-resource languages.

Vision
Knowledge Engineering Using Large Language Models

Authors: Bradley P. Allen, Lise Stork, and Paul Groth

Abstract
Knowledge engineering is a discipline that focuses on the creation and maintenance of processes that generate and apply knowledge. Traditionally, knowledge engineering approaches have focused on knowledge expressed in formal languages. The emergence of large language models and their capabilities to effectively work with natural language, in its broadest sense, raises questions about the foundations and practice of knowledge engineering. Here, we outline the potential role of LLMs in knowledge engineering, identifying two central directions: 1) creating hybrid neuro-symbolic knowledge systems; and 2) enabling knowledge engineering in natural language. Additionally, we formulate key open research questions to tackle these directions.

Knowledge Graphs for the Life Sciences: Recent Developments, Challenges and Opportunities

Authors: Jiaoyan Chen, Hang Dong, Janna Hastings, Ernesto Jiménez-Ruiz, Vanessa López, Pierre Monnin, Catia Pesquita, Petr Škoda, and Valentina Tamma

Published in: TGDK, Volume 1, Issue 1 (2023): Special Issue on Trends in Graph Data and Knowledge. Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 1, Issue 1


Abstract
The term life sciences refers to the disciplines that study living organisms and life processes, and include chemistry, biology, medicine, and a range of other related disciplines. Research efforts in life sciences are heavily data-driven, as they produce and consume vast amounts of scientific data, much of which is intrinsically relational and graph-structured. The volume of data and the complexity of scientific concepts and relations referred to therein promote the application of advanced knowledge-driven technologies for managing and interpreting data, with the ultimate aim to advance scientific discovery. In this survey and position paper, we discuss recent developments and advances in the use of graph-based technologies in life sciences and set out a vision for how these technologies will impact these fields into the future. We focus on three broad topics: the construction and management of Knowledge Graphs (KGs), the use of KGs and associated technologies in the discovery of new knowledge, and the use of KGs in artificial intelligence applications to support explanations (explainable AI). We select a few exemplary use cases for each topic, discuss the challenges and open research questions within these topics, and conclude with a perspective and outlook that summarizes the overarching challenges and their potential solutions as a guide for future research.

How Does Knowledge Evolve in Open Knowledge Graphs?

Abstract
Openly available, collaboratively edited Knowledge Graphs (KGs) are key platforms for the collective management of evolving knowledge. The present work aims t o provide an analysis of the obstacles related to investigating and processing specifically this central aspect of evolution in KGs. To this end, we discuss (i) the dimensions of evolution in KGs, (ii) the observability of evolution in existing, open, collaboratively constructed Knowledge Graphs over time, and (iii) possible metrics to analyse this evolution. We provide an overview of relevant state-of-the-art research, ranging from metrics developed for Knowledge Graphs specifically to potential methods from related fields such as network science. Additionally, we discuss technical approaches - and their current limitations - related to storing, analysing and processing large and evolving KGs in terms of handling typical KG downstream tasks.

A Practical Algorithm for Chess Unwinnability

Authors: Miguel Ambrona

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 226, 11th International Conference on Fun with Algorithms (FUN 2022)


Abstract
The FIDE Laws of Chess establish that if a player runs out of time during a game, they lose unless there exists no sequence of legal moves that ends in a checkmate by their opponent, in which case the game is drawn. The problem of determining whether or not a given chess position is unwinnable for a certain player has been considered intractable by the community and, consequently, chess servers do not apply the above rule rigorously, thus unfairly classifying many games. We propose, to the best of our knowledge, the first algorithm for chess unwinnability that is sound, complete and efficient for practical use. We also develop a prototype implementation and evaluate it over the entire Lichess Database (containing more than 3 billion games), successfully identifying all unfairly classified games in the database.
