Gremlin By Example

Kornelije Rabuzin, Mirko Maleković, Martina Šestak · 2016

Graph databases, which are presently classified as one of the most interesting database types, are being used on a daily basis. However, different systems are available and different languages are used to operate using graph databases. To summarize, a large number of languages hinders graph databases’ wider use. There also have been attempts to create universal SQL for graph databases in order to make things more standardized and intuitive to use. In this paper, we propose Gremlin By Example. This is a new language for graph databases that resembles Query By Example, which is a query language for relational databases. Because people are familiar with Query By Example, and Gremlin By Example looks almost the same, by using the similar interface people should be able to use graph databases without knowing the details of different graph query languages.
