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.

Query Decompositions and All That (Invited Talk)

Authors: Kyle Deeds, Timo Camillo Merkl, Reinhard Pichler, and Dan Suciu

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 365, 29th International Conference on Database Theory (ICDT 2026)


Abstract
The close relationship between Conjunctive Queries (CQs) and Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs) has long been known. Nevertheless, apart from decomposition methods, research on efficient query evaluation or constraint solving algorithms has developed rather independently. In this article, we illustrate how search algorithms originating from the CSP community can be fruitfully applied to query evaluation - either by further developing the original search algorithms or by combining them with query decomposition methods. It turns out that the resulting approaches may indeed lead to lower time and/or space complexity than previous query evaluation methods.

Modern Datalog: Concepts, Methods, Applications (Invited Paper)

Authors: Markus Krötzsch

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 138, Joint Proceedings of the 20th and 21st Reasoning Web Summer Schools (RW 2024 & RW 2025)


Abstract
Pure Datalog is arguably the most fundamental rule language, elegant and simple, but also often too limited to be useful in practice. This has motivated the introduction of many new expressive features, ranging from datatypes and related functions, over aggregates and semi-ring generalisations, to existential quantifiers and complex terms. In spite of their variety, all these approaches remain true to the nature of Datalog as a direct, pattern-based way of computing on structured data. We therefore find that a modern notion of Datalog is emerging, distinctly different from other approaches of logic programming and with its own set of related methods and applications. In this course, we introduce Datalog and its most common extensions, and explain when and how these features can be used together (which is often, but not always, safe to do). We further look at modern Datalog systems and some of their primary use cases. Hands-on work with Datalog and its extensions is done with the free Datalog engine https://knowsys.github.io/nemo-doc/. The course is accessible to all audiences and does not assume specific prior knowledge.

Resource Paper
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.

Abstract
In the last decade, there has been a growing interest in applying AI technologies to implement complex data analytics over data streams. To this end, researchers in various fields have been organising a yearly event called the "Stream Reasoning Workshop" to share perspectives, challenges, and experiences around this topic. In this paper, the previous organisers of the workshops and other community members provide a summary of the main research results that have been discussed during the first six editions of the event. These results can be categorised into four main research areas: The first is concerned with the technological challenges related to handling large data streams. The second area aims at adapting and extending existing semantic technologies to data streams. The third and fourth areas focus on how to implement reasoning techniques, either considering deductive or inductive techniques, to extract new and valuable knowledge from the data in the stream. This summary is written not only to provide a crystallisation of the field, but also to point out distinctive traits of the stream reasoning community. Moreover, it also provides a foundation for future research by enumerating a list of use cases and open challenges, to stimulate others to join this exciting research area.

Semantic Web: Past, Present, and Future

Authors: Ansgar Scherp, Gerd Groener, Petr Škoda, Katja Hose, and Maria-Esther Vidal

Published in: TGDK, Volume 2, Issue 1 (2024): Special Issue on Trends in Graph Data and Knowledge - Part 2. Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 2, Issue 1


Abstract
Ever since the vision was formulated, the Semantic Web has inspired many generations of innovations. Semantic technologies have been used to share vast amounts of information on the Web, enhance them with semantics to give them meaning, and enable inference and reasoning on them. Throughout the years, semantic technologies, and in particular knowledge graphs, have been used in search engines, data integration, enterprise settings, and machine learning. In this paper, we recap the classical concepts and foundations of the Semantic Web as well as modern and recent concepts and applications, building upon these foundations. The classical topics we cover include knowledge representation, creating and validating knowledge on the Web, reasoning and linking, and distributed querying. We enhance this classical view of the so-called "Semantic Web Layer Cake" with an update of recent concepts that include provenance, security and trust, as well as a discussion of practical impacts from industry-led contributions. We conclude with an outlook on the future directions of the Semantic Web. This is a living document.

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.
