Abstract

The paper proposes Riso-Tree, a generic indexing framework for geographic knowledge graphs. Riso-Tree enables fast execution of graph queries that involve spatial predicates (aka. GraSp). The proposed framework augments the classic R-Tree structure with pre-materialized sub-graph entries. Riso-Tree first partitions the graph into sub-graphs based on their connectivity to the spatial sub-regions. The proposed index allows for fast execution of GraSp queries by efficiently pruning the traversed vertexes/edges based upon the materialized sub-graph information. The experiments show that the proposed Riso-Tree achieves up to two orders magnitude faster execution time than its counterparts when executing GraSp queries on real knowledge graphs (e.g., WikiData).
