Intermediate triple table: A general architecture for virtual knowledge graphs

Virtual knowledge graphs (VKGs) have been widely applied to access relational data with a semantic layer by using an ontology in use cases that are dynamic in nature. However, current VKG techniques focus mainly on accessing a single relational database and remain largely unstudied for data integration with several heterogeneous data sources. To overcome this limitation, we propose intermediate triple table (ITT), a general VKG architecture to access multiple and diverse data sources. Our proposal is based on data shipping and addresses heterogeneity by adopting a schema-oblivious graph representation that intervenes between the sources and the queries. We minimize data computation by just materializing a relevant subgraph for a specific query. We employ star-shaped query processing and extend this technique to mapping candidate selection. For rapid materialization of the ITT, we apply a mapping partitioning technique to parallelize mapping execution, which also guarantees duplicate-free subgraphs and reduces memory consumption. We use SPARQL-to-SQL query translation to homogeneously evaluate queries over the ITT and execute them with an in-process analytical store. We implemented ITT on top of a knowledge graph materialization engine and evaluated it with two VKG benchmarks. The experimental results show that our proposal outperforms state-of-the-art techniques for complex graph queries in terms of execution time. It also decreases the number of timeouts although it uses more memory as a trade-off. The experiments also demonstrate the source independence of the architecture on a mixed distribution of data with SQL and document stores together with various file formats.
