Discovery of Keys for Graphs [Extended Version]

Abstract

Keys for graphs uses the topology and value constraints needed to uniquely identify entities in a graph database. They have been studied to support object identification, knowledge fusion, data deduplication, and social network reconciliation. In this paper, we present our algorithm to mine keys over graphs. Our algorithm discovers keys in a graph via frequent subgraph expansion. We present two properties that define a meaningful key, including minimality and support. Lastly, using real-world graphs, we experimentally verify the efficiency of our algorithm on real world graphs.
