The disclosed technology is generally directed to identification resolution in distributed knowledge graphs. In one example of the technology, a graph query is received. A metagraph includes identifier acceptance information associated with which identifiers among the identifiers are accepted by the data stores in the plurality of data stores and identifier export information associated with which identifiers among the identifiers are exported by the data stores in the plurality of data stores. The metagraph and the cost information are used to select, from among query paths, a query path that is capable of fulfilling the graph query based on minimizing a cost according to a cost metric. Upon determining that a failure has occurred in the selected query path, the metagraph and the cost information are used to change the selected query path. A response to the graph query is provided based on the selected query path.
