Enhancing Recall in Semantic Querying

RDF and SPARQL are currently state-of-the-art W3C standards to respectively represent and query structured information, especially when information from different sources must be federated. However, there are various reasons for which the same knowledge can be modeled in RDF graphs that are both lexically and structurally different, which we will introduce in the next section. As RDF graphs from different sources are expected to be linked, the modeling heterogeneities will make the federated graph become sparser and inconsistent. This is detrimental to the recall of SPARQL queries, as the query graph will be built following one particular modeling choice that may not be consistently used across the reachable parts of the federated graph
