Title Predicting SPARQL Query Dynamics
Authors Alberto Moya Loustaunau, Aidan Hogan
Publication date 2021
Abstract Given historical versions of an RDF graph, we propose and
compare
several methods to predict whether or not the results of a SPARQL query will
change for the next version. Unsurprisingly, we find that the best results
for this task are achievable by considering the full history of results for
the query over previous versions of the graph. However, given a previously
unseen query, producing historical results requires costly offline
maintenance of previous versions of the data, and costly online computation
of the query results over these previous versions. This prompts us to
explore more lightweight alternatives that rely on features computed from
the query and statistical summaries of historical versions of the graph. We
evaluate the quality of the predictions produced over weekly snapshots of
Wikidata and daily snapshots of DBpedia. Our results provide insights into
the trade-offs for predicting SPARQL query dynamics, where we find that a
detailed history of changes for a query's results enables much more
accurate predictions, but has higher overhead versus more lightweight
alternatives.
