Abstract

Traditionally, Linked Data query engines execute SPARQL queries over a materialised repository which on the one hand, guarantees fast query answering but on the other hand requires time and resource consuming preprocessing steps. In addition, the materialised repositories have to deal with the ongoing challenge of maintaining the index which is --- given the size of the Web --- practically unfeasible. Thus, the results for a given SPARQL query are potentially out-dated. Recent approaches address the result freshness problem by answering a given query directly over dereferenced query relevant Web documents. Our work investigate the problem of an efficient selection of query relevant sources under this context. As a part of query optimization, source selection tries to estimate the minimum number of sources accessed in order to answer a query. We propose to summarize and index sources based on frequently appearing query graph patterns mined from query logs. We verify the applicability of our approach and empirically show that our approach significantly reduces the number of relevant sources estimated while keeping the overhead low.
