ZOGRASCOPE: A New Benchmark for Property Graphs

Natural language interfaces to knowledge graphs have become increasingly important in recent years, enabling easy and efficient access to structured data. In particular property graphs have seen growing adoption. However, these kind of graphs remain relatively underrepresented in research, which has focused in large part on RDF-style graphs. As a matter of fact there is a lack of resources for evaluating systems on property graphs, with many existing datasets featuring relatively simple queries. To address this gap, we introduce ZOGRASCOPE, a benchmark designed specifically for the cypher query language. The benchmark includes a diverse set of manually annotated queries of varying complexity. We complement this paper with a set of experiments that test the performance of out-of-the-box LLMs of different sizes. Our experiments show that semantic parsing over graphs is still a challenging open problem that can not be solved by prompting LLMs alone.
