The LDBC Social Network Benchmark

Abstract: The Linked Data Benchmark Council's Social Network Benchmark (LDBC SNB) is an effort intended to test various functionalities of systems used for graph-like data management. For this, LDBC SNB uses the recognizable scenario of operating a social network, characterized by its graph-shaped data. LDBC SNB consists of two workloads that focus on different functionalities: the Interactive workload (interactive transactional queries) and the Business Intelligence workload (analytical queries). This document contains the definition of both workloads. This includes a detailed explanation of the data used in the LDBC SNB, a detailed description for all queries, and instructions on how to generate the data and run the benchmark with the provided software.
