Transforming Shape Schemas with Composable Property-Graph Queries (Extended Version)

arXiv:2606. 14309v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Property graphs may be constrained by schemas that inform both query engines and human users about the shape of valid data, enforcing a contract between data provider and consumer.

Enabling Knowledge Graph Understanding at Scale with the EXplore Your Graphs ENgine (EXYGEN)

The paper introduces EXYGEN, a framework that enables conversational access to large knowledge graphs by combining VoID descriptions, ShEx schemas, retrieved triples, and example question‑query pairs in a retrieval‑augmented generation pipeline. On the SciQA benchmark, this approach achieves an exact‑match score of 0.419 without fine‑tuning any large language model, and shows that larger general‑purpose LLMs can outperform smaller code‑specialized ones when provided sufficient context. To scale metadata generation for very large KGs, the authors propose a predicate‑coverage‑aware parallel graph sampling strategy that preserves structural diversity, reduces runtime by over 80× on OpenCitations Meta and GESIS, and is the only tractable method for obtaining complete metadata on ORKG.

Retrieval-Augmented Generation of Ontologies from Relational Databases

arXiv:2506. 01232v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deriving OWL ontologies from relational database schemas supports semantic interoperability and downstream tasks such as knowledge graph population, ontology-based data access, graph-based learning, and automated reasoning.

RDFdL: Integrating RDF with Differential Dynamic Logic

RDFdL is a framework that merges RDF knowledge graphs with Differential Dynamic Logic (dL) to enable representation and reasoning about both static knowledge and continuous physical dynamics. It encodes differential equations and state-space ranges in RDF and SHACL, translating them into dL for formal verification. The integration allows safety and reachability proofs from dL to be queried as SPARQL entailments over RDF data, with an implementation using Apache Jena and KeYmaera X demonstrated in a manufacturing context.

The KG-ER Conceptual Schema Language

arXiv:2508. 02548v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We propose KG-ER, a conceptual schema language for knowledge graphs that describes the structure of knowledge graphs independently of their representation (relational databases, property graphs, RDF) while helping to capture the semantics of the information stored in a knowledge graph.
