Abstract

This work presents SPOQL, a structured query language for Semistructured Probabilistic Object (SPO) model [4]. The original query language for semistructured probabilistic database management system [20], SP-Algebra [4], has limitations such as complex functional notation and unfamiliarity to application programmers. SPOQL alleviates these problems by providing a user friendly and familiar SQL-like declarative syntax for writing queries against SPDBMS. We show that parsing SPOQL queries is a more involving task than parsing SQL queries. We describe the evaluation algorithm for SPOQL queries that we have implemented.
