ProbSPARQL extends SPARQL for uncertain numeric data in knowledge graphs

Researchers have developed ProbSPARQL, an extension to the SPARQL query language designed to handle uncertain and multi-dimensional numeric data within knowledge graphs. This new system addresses limitations in current RDF and SPARQL technologies by modeling uncertain numeric values as random variables and enabling distribution-aware queries. Implemented on Apache Jena ARQ and compatible with Fuseki, ProbSPARQL has been tested on real-world data fragments and evaluated for scalability, demonstrating feasible execution and potential speedups over traditional post-processing methods. AI

IMPACT Enhances querying capabilities for knowledge graphs with uncertain numeric data, potentially improving downstream AI applications in areas like product analysis and planning.

    ProbSPARQL: Querying Knowledge Graphs with Multi-dimensional, Uncertain Numeric Data

    arXiv:2607.18262v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The SFB 1574 Circular Factory is building a shared knowledge graph infrastructure for integrating data about returned products. A central challenge is that circular-factory data include numeric measurements that (i) originate from s…
