Databases Theory and Applications

Graphs have always been important data types for database researchers. With the recent growth of social networks, Wikipedia, Linked Data, RDF, and other networks, the interest in managing very large graphs have again gained momentum. In this talk I will first present a taxonomy of graph processing systems and then summarize research on querying and analytics over property graphs and management and querying of RDF graphs. Short Biography. M. Tamer Özsu is Professor of Computer Science at the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science, and Associate Dean (Research) of the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Waterloo. His research is in data management focusing on large-scale data distribution and management of non-traditional data. He is a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), and of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), an elected member of the Science Academy of Turkey, and member of Sigma Xi and American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). He currently holds a Cheriton Faculty Fellowship at the University of Waterloo. Knowledge Graphs: From a Fistful of Triples to Deep Data and Deep Text
