Graph Data Transformations in Gradoop

Abstract

The analysis of graph data using graph database and distributed graph processing systems has gained significant interest. However, relatively little effort has been devoted to preparing the graph data for analysis, in particular to transform and integrate data from different sources. To support such ETL processes for graph data we investigate transformation operations for property graphs managed by the distributed platform Gradoop. We also provide initial results of a runtime evaluation of the proposed graph data transformations.
