Graph-Driven Federated Data Management (Extended Abstract)

Abstract

Modern data analysis applications require the ability to provide on-demand integration of data sources while offering a user-friendly query interface. Traditional methods for answering queries using views, focused on a rather static setting, fail to address such requirements. To overcome these issues, we propose a full fledged, GLAV-based data integration approach based on graph-based constructs. The extensibility of graphs allows us to extend the traditional framework for data integration with view definitions. Furthermore, we also propose a query language based on subgraphs. We tackle query answering via a query rewriting algorithm based on well-known algorithms for answering queries using views. We experimentally show that our method yields good performance with no significant overhead.
