Efficient processing of keyword queries over graph databases for finding effective answers

作者:

Highlights:

• We define a new measure of relevance of a node in the graph to a keyword query.

• We propose an extended answer structure for a top-k query over graph databases.

• We propose an inverted list index and search algorithm to find top-k answer trees.

• We enhanced the basic method for more efficient and scalable processing the query.

• Experiments show that the proposed method can find effective top-k answers efficiently.
