Abstract
Query interface is an important tool in accessing graph databases. Traditional text-based query interfaces only provide access to databases through text queries and results, without presenting the internal graph structure. In this thesis we present a graphical query interface for exploratory querying of graph structured data, called Graph by Example (GBE). Our interface introduces a Draw and Play feature, which enables users to query graph structured data intuitively using graph templates. GBE interface also provides exploratory querying features facilitating the editing and reuse of previous queries so that users can reformulate their queries and resubmit based on the results of the previous queries. These features makes the interface simpler and easier to use compared to traditional text based query interfaces. We implement this query interface utilizing an RDF querying framework in a previous research. We also demonstrate the interface’s functions and features through examples in real world databases and benchmarks.
