Abstract

We propose a method for generating and evaluating faceted queries over ontology-enhanced distributed graph databases. A user, who only vaguely knows the domain ontology, starts with a set of keywords. Then, an initial faceted query is automatically generated and the user is guided in interactive modification and refinement of successively created faceted queries. We provide the theoretical foundation for this way of faceted query construction and translation into first order monadic positive existential queries.
