Abstract
In order to request desired information from a graph database, a system executes a query against the graph database. The graph database may store a graph that includes nodes, edges between the nodes, and predicates to represent and store data with index-free adjacency. Moreover, the query may identify a first edge associated with a predicate that specifies one or more of the nodes in the graph. In response to the query, the system receives a result that includes a subset of the graph. Then, the system may use the result of the query in a concatenated set of queries. In particular, the system may execute a second query against the subset of the graph. Furthermore, in response to the second query, the system may receive a second result that includes a second subset of the graph.
