Abstract

Sub-queries for a query are determined. The query is for retrieving a data item of a data graph. The data graph stores representations of the data item. Each representation of the data item stores knowledge represented by the data item in a different way or manner. Each sub-query corresponds to a different representation by which the data graph stores the data item. The sub-queries are evaluated to determine an appropriate representation of the data item in fulfillment of the query without duplicatively traversing the data graph, such as by reusing evaluation results of the sub-queries that overlap one another.
