DEX API
 Java library: jdex.jar  public API
 Native library
• Linux: libjdex.so
• Windows: jdex.dll
 System requirements:
 Java Runtime Environment, v1.5 or higher.
 Operative system:
• Windows – 32 bits
• Linux – 32 and 64 bits

Basic Concepts
 Persistent and temporary graph management library.
 Data model: Typed and attributed directed multigraph.
 Node and edge instances belong to a type.
 Node and edge instances have attribute values.
 Edge can be directed or undirected.
 Multiple edges between two nodes.
 Use of identifiers.
 Object (node and edge) identifiers: long
 Attribute identifiers: long
 Type identifiers: int

Core API – Main Methods
DEX
open(filename)  GraphPool
create(filename)  GraphPool
close()
GraphPool
getDbGraph()  DbGraph
newGraph()  Rgraph
flush()
close()
Graph
newNodeType(name)  int
newEdgeType(name)  int
newNode(type)  long
newEdge(type)  long
newAttribute(type, name)  long
setAttribute(oid, attr, value)
getAttribute(oid, attr)  value
select(type)  Objects
select(attr, op, value)  Objects
explode(oid, type)  Objects
Objects.Iterator
hasNext()  boolean
next()  long
Objects
add(long)
exists(long)
copy(objs)
union(objs)
Intersection(objs)
difference(objs)

Running Example
DEX dex = new DEX();
GraphPool gpool = dex.create(“C:/image.dex”);
…
…
gpool.close();
dex.close();

Running Example
…
DbGraph dbg = gpool.getDbGraph();
int person = dbg.newNodeType(“PERSON”);
long name = dbg.newAttribute(person, “NAME”, STRING);
long age= dbg.newAttribute(person, “AGE”, INT);
long p1 = dbg.newNode(person);
dbg.setAttribute(p1, name, “JOHN”);
dbg.setAttribute(p1, age, 18);
dbg.setAttribute(p2, name, “KELLY”);
dbg.setAttribute(p3, name, “MARY”);

Running Example
…
int friend = dbg.newUndirectedEdgeType(“FRIEND”);
int since = dbg.newAttribute(friend, “SINCE”, INT);
long e1 = dbg.newEdge(p1, p2, friend);
dbg.setAttribute(e1, since, 2000);
long e2 = dbg.newEdge(p2, p3, friend);
dbg.setAttribute(e2, since, 1995);
…
int loves = dbg.newEdgeType(“LOVES”);
long e3 = dbg.newEdge(p1, p3, loves);

// objs2 = { e4, e5 }
Objects objs = objs1.intersection(objs2);
// objs = { e5, e6 } ∩ { e4, e5 } = { e5 }

Extension Modules
 Extension Java Packages with higher-level features
 Schema
 Exploral
 Input
 Output
 Visualization
 Graph operations

Schema Module
 A high-level logical view of the graph structure
 Encapsulates graph generation and maintenance
 Definition of schemas through script files
dbgraph WIKIPEDIA (
datasource WIKIPEDIA (
dataset TITLES ( ID int, NLC string, TITLE string )
dataset IMAGES ( ID int, NLC string, FILENAME string )
)
edge REFS ( NLC string, TYPE string ) // TITLES --> TITLES
edge IMGS ( ) // TITLES --> IMAGES
)

Exploral Module
 Framework for complex queries
 Extracts data from the DbGraph to return multiple graph results
 Multiple phases and tasks
 Querying: selects objects and explodes relationships
 Preparing: transforms and filters the candidate graphs
 Mining: finds the graphs that match a condition
 Browsing: prepares the result graph for the visualization tool

Input Module
 Loads data from external data sources
 Automatically converts the input data to a DEX graph
 Supported data formats:
 Plain text files: CSV
 XML files
