If you are at The Knowledge Graph Conference (KGC), be sure to stick around for the closeout session on graph data standards. GQL is published, giving us our first standard for property graphs. RDF 1.2 is coming. Hypergraphs are on the rise. Gen AI is changing how we interact with graphs. @kgc2024

Following the publication of ISO/IEC GQL (graph query language) in April 2024, LDBC today launches open-source language engineering tools for the GQL language. See this announcement from Alastair Green, Vice-chair of LDBC: ldbcouncil.org/pages/opengql-…

LDBC's vice-chair, Alastair Green will participate in a panel session of the The Knowledge Graph Conference (KGC) on May 9 (Thursday) titled 'Graph Data Standards Rebooted'.

Joint commitment from myself on behalf of Neo4j and Brad Bebee on behalf of AWS Neptune to ISO GQL, and paving the way for all Cypher users!

Graph databases now have an ISO standard query language: GQL, by the same group that standardised SQL.

Well done to all involved.
