OBDA vs forward chaining: the ForBackBench framework

OBDA vs forward chaining: the ForBackBench framework
OBDA vs forward chaining: the ForBackBench framework
Query answering in Data Integration/Exchange has been extensively studied using two different approaches of reasoning: forward-chaining (or chase) algorithms and backward-chaining algorithms (or query rewriting). These two approaches have been explored separately in terms of algorithms, practical implementations, and benchmarks. While there are numerous available comparisons within the same approach, there is no framework to compare solutions across both approaches. In this paper, we demonstrate ForBackBench, a framework that provides the web interface and infrastructure for cross-approach comparisons, and automated graph plotting, containing a variety of tools that help explore the differences between chasing and query-rewriting.

Abstract

Query answering in Data Integration/Exchange has been extensively studied using two different approaches of reasoning: forward-chaining (or chase) algorithms and backward-chaining algorithms (or query rewriting). These two approaches have been explored separately in terms of algorithms, practical implementations, and benchmarks. While there are numerous available comparisons within the same approach, there is no framework to compare solutions across both approaches. In this paper, we demonstrate ForBackBench, a framework that provides the web interface and infrastructure for cross-approach comparisons, and automated graph plotting, containing a variety of tools that help explore the differences between chasing and query-rewriting.
