Evaluation of query for data item having multiple representations in graph by evaluating sub-queries

Abstract:

A query is for retrieving a data item of a data graph. The data graph stores representations of the data item. Each representation stores information represented by the data item in a different manner or way. Sub-queries for the query each correspond to a different representation in which the data graph stores the data item. The sub-queries are evaluated to determine an appropriate representation of the data item in satisfaction or fulfillment of the query.
