Graph Indexing

Advanced database systems face a great challenge arising from the emergence of massive, complex structural data in bioinformatics, chem-informatics, business processes, etc. One of the most important functions needed in these areas is efficient search of complex graph data. Given a graph query, it is desirable to retrieve relevant graphs quickly from a large database via efficient graph indices. This chapter gives an introduction to graph substructure search, approximate substructure search and their related graph indexing techniques, particularly feature-based graph indexing.
