As graph databases become widespread, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) have approved a project to create GQL, a standard property graph query language. This complements the SQL/PGQ project, which specifies how to define graph views over a SQL tabular schema, and to run read-only queries against them.
