EvoOntology: A Self-Evolving Ontology Layer for Data Agents

EvoOntology introduces a self‑evolving ontology layer for data agents, encapsulating the ontology as an MCP server with schema, content, and tool layers. It enables agents to query and interact with the ontology at runtime, using a builder agent for autonomous construction and a self‑evolution loop that refines the ontology through attribution‑guided edits validated by backbone‑conditional evaluation. Experiments on three data‑agent benchmarks with four LLM backbones show that EvoOntology consistently outperforms strong baselines and existing semantic‑layer approaches, effectively bridging the agent‑data gap for heterogeneous data.

RENSA: Rich Environment Metadata to Navigate Shared and Distributed Endpoints for Automated Federated SPARQL Query Generation

RENSA is a federated SPARQL query generation framework that extends SPARQL Builder Metadata to include class and authority information, enabling precise source selection and semantic constraint inference without runtime ASK queries. The generated metadata profiles occupy less than 1% of the original dataset triples, providing storage‑efficient insights. Evaluation on the LargeRDFBench benchmark shows that RENSA matches state‑of‑the‑art source selection performance while eliminating runtime communication overhead.

From SQL to Knowledge Graphs: An LLM-Driven Multi-Agent Approach with Data Schema Improvement

The paper introduces a novel LLM‑driven multi‑agent pipeline that converts relational databases into graph databases by standardizing table and column names and iteratively refining the graph schema through ETL, Analyzer, and Graph agents. The resulting graph database meets accuracy, groundedness, and faithfulness criteria and shows significant performance gains, achieving 85.6% Q&A accuracy—12.12% higher than an SQL agent on PostgreSQL—and reducing latency by roughly threefold on a BFSI dataset. This demonstrates an efficient, automated method for transforming tabular data into a more intuitive and faster‑executing graph format.

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.

H2: A Dual Hybrid Semantic Data Lake Architecture for Medical Data Harmonization with Human-In-the-Loop verified, LLM Driven Metadata Annotation System

arXiv:2608. 08056v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Medical data, by its nature, exhibit a high degree of heterogeneity on multiple levels ranging from (a) different modalities like images, text and time series, (b) diverse tabular schemata introduced by institutions and (c) completely unstructured textual information data provided by healthcare professionals.
