ABSTAT-HD: a scalable tool for profiling very large knowledge graphs

Abstract

AbstractProcessing large-scale and highly interconnected Knowledge Graphs (KG) is becoming crucial for many applications such as recommender systems, question answering, etc. Profiling approaches have been proposed to summarize large KGs with the aim to produce concise and meaningful representation so that they can be easily managed. However, constructing profiles and calculating several statistics such as cardinality descriptors or inferences are resource expensive. In this paper, we present ABSTAT-HD, a highly distributed profiling tool that supports users in profiling and understanding big and complex knowledge graphs. We demonstrate the impact of the new architecture of ABSTAT-HD by presenting a set of experiments that show its scalability with respect to three dimensions of the data to be processed: size, complexity and workload. The experimentation shows that our profiling framework provides informative and concise profiles, and can process and manage very large KGs.
