Recently,graph data has been widely used in domains such as information security,scientific research,internet services,etc.,that stimulates the fast development of graph data management systems.However,existing benchmarks for graph databases are all designed for applications that manage and analyze social networks.The statistical characteristics of knowledge graphs were analyzed,and compared with two social networks.It was showed that knowledge graphs,as an important and fast growing kind of graph data,were significantly different from social networks.Therefore,existing social network based benchmarks were not suitable for applications that deal with knowledge graphs.Furthermore,the requirements for a new benchmark were analyzed.
