- The first formal specification of Cypher, the most commonly used declarative query language for property graphs. It is the result of our ongoing research collaboration with Neo4j, the world-leading company in graph databases, and reflects the expected real-life behaviour of the language and its development in industry. The paper was accepted in the industrial track of top conference on database systems (SIGMOD) and has quickly become the standard reference for Cypher within academia. The proposed specification has influenced the design of GQL, a new international standard graph query language currently under development by ISO, to which the authors actively contribute.
