Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for enabling cross-graph querying in graph databases using a transition operator within a traversal context. In some embodiments, a computing system receives a query containing a transition operator that facilitates transitioning from a first graph to a second graph. The system processes a traversal operation within the first graph, retrieves intermediary data, and transitions to the second graph to perform subsequent traversal operations. The query engine can utilize confidence scores associated with edges in the graphs to filter or prioritize results, ensuring the reliability of returned data. Additionally, data validation techniques using a mirror graph are disclosed, where new data is validated before integration into a production graph. These techniques streamline cross-graph data analysis, improve query efficiency, and maintain graph database integrity while supporting applications such as fraud detection, recommendation systems, and account linking.
