Abstract
According to an aspect, a heterogeneous graph in a data store is accessed. The heterogeneous graph includes a plurality of nodes having a plurality of node types. The nodes are connected by edges having a plurality of relation types. One or more intermediary graphs are created based on the heterogeneous graph. The intermediary graphs include intermediary nodes that are the relation types of the edges of the heterogeneous graph and include intermediary links between the intermediary nodes based on shared instances of the nodes between relation types in the heterogeneous graph. The intermediary graphs are traversed to find sets of relations based on intermediary links according to a template. An inference rule is extracted from the heterogeneous graph based on finding sets of relations in the intermediary graphs. The inference rule defines an inferred relation type between at least two of the nodes of the heterogeneous graph.
