Query Model

Minutes

AG: We have eliminated the definition of timestamped triples. We also managed to get through 70% of the RSP-QL data model page [1]. We agreed on using xsd:datetime when implementing the timestamps. We then discussed, what a timestamped graph should be exactly. tg is defined as a triple (g,p,t), g = graph, t = timestamp, p = predicate connecting g and t (cann be either systime, or apptime, maybe capture also an interval (starttime, endtime)). Multiple graphs can have same t. Same graph can have different p (for intervals). We also identified some todos (e.g. identify a vocab for p). We also defined a stream, but it's still under discussion whether it it a sequence or a set. We introduce "bounded substreams" (= extract of a window with upper bound, lower bound). We did not call it "window (data)" to not confuse it with the "window (operator)"


ACTION: AG to translate flipchart content to sentences/formulations on the github data model Done


AP: Can the data model reference subgraphs when streaming? Are subgraphs streamed?

AG: I would say that depends on the implementation.

AP: The definition says it is a graph, but it could be a compound structure (referencing to other graphs) which are not necessarily streamed.

AG: It can be the case that there are referenced graphs which are not streamed.

AP: So should it be made explicit in the data model?

AG: I think it does not need to be made explicit, because it would make the basic data model (which we want to keep simple) more complex.

AM: We want to leverage RSP-QL efforts to support "some kind of cep in rsp". Main questions are: What are key aspects that should be handled? Where is the cut-off point?

Benchmarking & Evaluation

Group members

AL, JF, MK, Ali, Marcin

Minutes

AL: The idea of the group was to brainstorm metrics for benchmarking & evaluating RSP systems.

AL shows and discusses table with 3 cols: queries, streams, rsp systems (see slides) query throughput: how many queries can be handled by the system? data throughput: "messages per second"
