| Abstract | An old idea from the humanistic sciences has it that the language we use not only restricts the manner in which we view the world, but also, in a very real sense, shapes the world around us. This view has deep roots across fields as diverse as anthropology, linguistics, and philosophy. Recently, my colleagues and I have been exploring the interesting ways in which this idea manifests itself in data management. In particular, we have been studying the expressive power of graph query languages at the instance level, where the focus is on characterizing the ability of languages to restrict and shape concrete graph instances, purely in terms of the structure of the instances. In this talk, I will begin with a brief recap of such structural characterizations of query languages for structured and semi-structured data [4, 7, 8]. I will then introduce the theoretical framework we have been developing for reasoning over graph structured data [1, 2, 3, 6]. Following this, I will discuss how we put the framework to work, with the design of structural indexes for (RDF) graphs [5, 12]. I will also give an overview of our recent results on effectively computing the characterizations on which these index data structures are built [9, 10, 11]. Finally, I will conclude with a discussion of broader applications of the framework in data management and indications for further research. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
