Description & Coverage
Description:

Graphs are a powerful tool for representing and understanding objects and their relationships in various application domains. The growing popularity of graph databases has generated data management problems that include finding efficient techniques for compressing large graph databases and suitable techniques for visualizing, browsing, and navigating large graph databases.

Graph Data Management: Techniques and Applications is a central reference source for different data management techniques for graph data structures and their application. This book discusses graphs for modeling complex structured and schemaless data from the Semantic Web, social networks, protein networks, chemical compounds, and multimedia databases and offers essential research for academics working in the interdisciplinary domains of databases, data mining, and multimedia technology.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Business Process Graphs
  • Clustering Vertices in Weighted Graphs
  • Graph Applications in Chemoinformatics
  • Graph Indexing Querying Techniques
  • Kernel-Based Similarity Searches
  • Large Scale Graph Mining
  • Querying RDF
  • Real and Synthetic Graphs
  • Relational Approaches for Graph Pattern Matching
  • Semantic Process Model Discovery
Reviews & Statements

This book is the first that approaches the challenges associated with graphs from a data management point of view; it connects the dots. As I am currently involved in building a native graph database engine, I encounter problems that arise from every possible aspect: data representation, indexing, transaction support, parallel query processing, and may others. All of them sound familiar to a database researcher, but the inherent change is fundamental as they originate from a new foundation. I found that this book contains a lot of timely information, aiding my efforts. To be clear, it does not offer the blueprint for building a graph database system, but it contains a bag of diamonds, enlightening the readers as they start exploring a field that may fundamentally change data management in the future.
