Abstract As an important kind of NOSQL databases, graph
database management systems (GDBMSs) have improved
greatly in recent years. However, the development of related
linked queries is still limited. This paper introduces an
approach for matching frequently-used management tasks of
GDBMS with concepts in Structured Query Language (SQL).
An application programming interface (API) based on the
Neo4j GDBMS was developed to enable functionalities needed
with graph databases. Besides the API, a user-friendly
graphical user interface (GUI) was developed enabling the
management and demonstration of graph datasets. Further,
is proposed as a design for
integrating graphs with tables. The prototype combining these
components constitutes the fundamental elements of a graph
data warehouse. The proposed research initiates an effort to
develop the potential of graph information systems (GRIS) and
to define associated technical aspects.
